HBO “Real Time” host Bill Maher torched Vice President Kamala Harris and her prospects of defeating former President Donald Trump in November’s election.
“Vice President will get all of Biden’s campaign money, and on the Democrats’ best issue, abortion, she’s a walking reminder to women that Republicans are coming for the abortion pill. She won’t just protect Plan B, she is Plan B,” Maher joked.
“And as a former prosecutor, Kamala was putting criminals in jail back before liberals decided that was a bad thing. Now that CVS is locking the shaving cream behind plexiglass, Democrats are coming around to her again,” Maher added.
The HBO anchor continued by criticizing Harris’ complete lack of national electoral success.

This is not the first time that Maher has ripped Harris.
Earlier in July, Maher slammed Harris for being deeply unlikable and reminded viewers that she won zero delegates when she ran for the Democratic nomination in 2020.
“Yes, replacing a president as his party’s candidate this late will seem like a big deal,” Maher said. “For about three days, and then we’ll all be over it.”
Maher listed several potential Democratic replacements for Biden, including Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, California Governor Gavin Newsom, Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, and Vice President Kamala Harris.
If she were to win in November, Harris would become the first female, first black woman, and first Asian to serve as president — none of which impressed Maher.
“I don’t vote for who will be the first, I vote for who will win and for whatever reason, Harris has never been popular,” Maher said before ripping on Harris’ failed presidential campaign four years ago.
“You can count the number of delegates she won in the 2020 primaries on one hand, as long as that hand has no fingers. In three years as vice president, she has been quieter than an electric car,” Maher said.
After criticizing the vice president for her mismanagement of the U.S. southern border when Biden appointed her as the “border czar,” Maher claimed he didn’t understand why Harris wasn’t more well-liked despite her being “intelligent and accomplished.”
This comes as Harris has been handed bad news from three different polls showing that she is losing support.
Two of the polls put her behind former President Donald Trump in Pennsylvania, a key swing state, and a third put her behind the Republican presidential candidate across the board.
Two different polls of potential Pennsylvania voters, one by Cygnal and one by Emerson College, both gave Trump a one-point lead in the key state with 19 Electoral College votes. A separate poll from the Napolitan News Service gave the former president a one-point lead across the country.
“Between August 12 and 14, RMG Research polled 2,708 likely voters across the United States for Napolitan News Service, which found Trump leading Harris by 46 percent to 45 percent. When undecided voters leaning one way were included, Trump’s margin extended to 49 percent against 47 percent, compared to the last RMG poll a week ago, which put both candidates on 49 percent,” Newsweek reported.
“A Cygnal poll of 800 likely voters in Pennsylvania, conducted on August 14-15, found 44 percent would back Trump in a presidential contest versus 43 percent for Harris and 5 percent for independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Trump increased his polling by 2 points since the last Cygnal survey in July, while Kennedy saw his support fall by 4 points,” the outlet added.
It showed that Trump had a one-point lead over Harris, with 49% of the vote to 49% for Harris. This went up to 51% vs. 49% when people who aren’t sure but lean toward one candidate were added to that candidate’s pool.
When Kennedy was taken into account, Harris and Trump were tied with 47% of the vote, while the independent candidate had 3%.
According to the poll, voters under 40 were more likely to support Harris than Trump (61% to 36%). However, Trump had a bigger lead among voters 50 to 69 (57%) than among voters of any other age.
When it came to Protestant voters, Trump was ahead 58% to 40%, and when it came to Catholic voters, Trump was ahead 60% to 39%. Eighty-four percent of atheist and agnostic voters chose Harris over thirteen percent, and 56 percent chose Harris over 39 percent of people who didn’t say what religion they followed.
Separately, a new survey for DailyMail.com shows that Trump is still on pace to become the 47th president, leading the vice president by two points.
This comes as a new survey for DailyMail.com shows that the 45th president is still on pace to become the 47th president, leading the vice president by two points.
“Our survey of 1001 likely voters found that 43 percent would vote for Trump if the election were tomorrow, compared with 41 percent who would vote for Harris,” the outlet reported, citing the polling results.
