Bill Maher Calls Kamala Harris’ ‘107 Days’ a ‘Victim’ Memoir on Real Time

His Real Time monologue portrayed the book as excuse‑making, urging Democratic women to look tough.

Overview

  • Maher criticized Harris’ memoir on the October 3 HBO broadcast, with coverage published by TheWrap, TV Insider and the New York Post over the weekend.
  • He said the title ‘107 Days’ signals a victim narrative and joked it should be called “Everyone Sucks But Me.”
  • Maher argued the book deflects responsibility for the 2024 loss, naming Joe Biden and Gavin Newsom among those Harris faults.
  • He highlighted passages about wanting Pete Buttigieg as running mate instead of Tim Walz and mocked an election‑night anecdote about ‘Madame President’ cupcakes.
  • Framing his remarks as broader advice, Maher said Democratic women should avoid seeming oversensitive or preachy and be able to laugh at themselves.
