Bill Maher Skewers Kamala Harris’s Memoir on Real Time

His critique is driving a wider debate over Democratic accountability.

Overview

  • Maher devoted his Oct. 3 HBO segment to attacking Harris’s 107 Days, arguing it frames her 2024 loss as everyone else’s fault.
  • He mocked the title as a “victim’s” framing and suggested it should be called “Everyone Sucks But Me.”
  • The monologue cited her recounting of “Madame President” cupcakes and highlighted how the book faults Joe Biden, Gavin Newsom and public readiness for Pete Buttigieg.
  • Maher contrasted the memoir’s tone with Harris’s advantages, referencing a reported $1.5 billion war chest and a large anti-Trump voting bloc.
  • CNN’s Van Jones applauded on-air as the bit aired, and the segment was widely picked up across outlets, amplifying the conversation over Harris’s post‑campaign narrative.
