Bill Maher Reveals Why 2028 Is A No-Go For Kamala Harris
Liberal comedian Bill Maher torched former Vice President Kamala Harris during his Friday monologue on his HBO program, hitting her hardest over the release of her memoir and claiming she has zero chance to win the 2028 Democratic presidential nomination.
Harris is currently on tour promoting her tome, “107 Days,” which describes her truncated 2024 presidential campaign, and by many indications, things have not gone well.
Harris entered the 2024 presidential race with significant advantages, including a campaign fund exceeding $1.5 billion, a large base of reliable Democratic voters, and strong support from mainstream media outlets.
Despite those factors, Harris ultimately lost every key swing state and failed to win the national popular vote — the first time a Democratic nominee had done so in more than two decades.
In her forthcoming book, Vice President Kamala Harris writes that California Governor Gavin Newsom declined to endorse her during the campaign, reportedly responding to her outreach with a brief text saying he was “hiking” and then never following up.
Harris also reflects on her vice-presidential selection process, writing that she believed former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg could have energized the ticket but that the country was “not ready” for a gay running mate.
She ultimately chose Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, whom she describes in the book with mixed feelings.
Maher torched Harris in his monologue:
Kamala Harris’s new memoir of the 2024 election is called 107 Days. But it should have been called ‘Everyone sucks but me.’
107 Days is a victim’s title because get it, she only had 107 days to win. Yeah, and a billion and a half dollars and a built-in army of about 75 million people who’d vote for any human-adjacent life form that wasn’t Trump.
But in 107 Days, nothing is ever Kamala’s fault. Biden lets her down by not stepping down sooner. (Pouty face emoji).
Gavin Newsom, he was asked for his endorsement, but texted ‘Hiking. Will call back.’ But then never did. And then he didn’t even ask her to prom.
America itself lets Kamala down by not being ‘ready’ for the running mate she really wanted, Pete Buttigieg. So she stuck with the Home Depot paint salesman [Tim Walz], and the rest is HERstory. Poor Kamala. We made her the star of a rom-com and didn’t even give her a gay best friend.
Kamala writes that on election night, when it was clear she lost, an aide peeled the words ‘Madam President’ off the cupcakes before handing them out. Oh, geez, that’s like a scene from Bridget Jones Runs for President, for Christ’s sake.

This one hurts. The ending is the icing on the cake.

She also wrote that she believed it was reckless for Biden to run for reelection, but she nevertheless kept up the facade that he was capable and could serve another four-year term.
Last week, Harris said she is not focused on a 2028 presidential run after declining to seek the California governorship.
In an exclusive Sept. 22 interview with MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow, Harris was asked if she would consider another White House bid.
“That’s not my focus right now. That’s not my focus at all. It really isn’t,” Harris said.
Her remarks follow her July announcement that she would not enter the California governor’s race. At the time, she said “for now, my leadership – and public service – will not be in elected office” and vowed instead to help elect Democrats “who will fight fearlessly” across the nation.
