"Real Time" host Bill Maher called out former Vice President Kamala Harris' book during his HBO show on Friday and suggested a new title for the former Democratic presidential nominee's account of the 2024 campaign.
"Kamala Harris's new memoir of the '24 election is called '107 Days,' but should have been called 'Everyone Sucks but Me,'" Maher said during Friday's show, which was met with applause from his guest, CNN political commentator Van Jones, a former advisor to President Barack Obama. "'107 Days' is a victim's title because, get it, she only had 107 days to win. Yeah. Uh, 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."
Harris' book was released in late-September and recounts her historically short presidential campaign up until she ultimately lost to President Donald 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," Maher joked.

Harris named multiple Democrats in her book, including Newsom, who she tried to speak to about endorsements after President Biden exited the race.
Harris shared her notes from those calls in her book, including one about the California governor that read, "Hiking. Will call back. (He never did.)"
Maher also called out the former VP for revealing that she didn't pick former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg as her running mate because she felt it was a "risk," because he's a gay man.
"America itself lets Kamala down by not being ready for the running mate she really wanted, Pete Buttigieg. So she's stuck with the Home Depot paint salesman, and the rest is history," he said, referring to her former running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz.

Harris wrote in the book that Buttigieg "would have been an ideal partner - if I were a straight White man."
"But we were already asking a lot of America: to accept a woman, a Black woman, a Black woman married to a Jewish man. Part of me wanted to say, Screw it, let's just do it. But knowing what was at stake, it was too big of a risk," she added. "And I think Pete also knew that - to our mutual sadness."
