Television host Bill Maher Friday said Americans have had plenty of time to find out Vice President Kamala HarrisAnd they “didn’t like” him, disagreeing with reporters who condoned Harris’s defeat of the president-elect. Donald Trump.
In Friday’s “Overtime” segment, ABC News contributor Sarah Isgur said Democrats put Harris in a difficult position by asking her to run a “three-month campaign.” Maher, host of HBO’s Real Time, questioned this, saying, “You’re saying three months isn’t long?” He continued, “It was too long. It’s not that they didn’t have time to introduce him — they met somebody, and they didn’t like it,” as quoted in a Fox News report.
MSNBC analyst John Heileman argued that the vice president’s role is limited, especially under an unpopular president. “Bill, I don’t know if you know this, but the vice president of the United States has basically been stuck in a doghouse for three and a half years,” he said.
Maher retorted, “The idea that 107 days is not enough to get to know someone in the age of mass media?”
He then addressed his audience, asking if they knew enough about Harris after a week to make a decision. Meher said, “This is ridiculous! We just get sick of them! Why are you making all these excuses for him?”
Maher added during the show, “I think America is absolutely willing to elect a woman. They just don’t like the bottom two.” He suggested that voters did not find Harris compelling as a candidate, arguing against damage caused by his sexism, racism, or mismanagement of the campaign.
Panelist Sarah Isgur offered a different perspective, suggesting that Harris faced challenges as the Democratic nominee due to President Biden’s late decision not to seek re-election.
