Late-night host Bill Maher criticized the Harris-Walz \u200bcampaign\u200d in a monologue, pointing out that Democrats are panicking to secure support from black voters, particularly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/anaylsis-more-than-half-of-joe-bidens-twitter-followers-are-fake-and-were-just-created-in-january\/\" title=\"Anaylsis: More Than Half Of Joe Biden\u2019s Twitter Followers Are FAKE and Were Just Created in January\">black men<\/a>,\u200b with only 25 days left until the election. Maher remarked on the absurdity\u2064 of the current strategy,\u2064 which includes trying to engage black men through Minnesota\u2062 Governor Tim\u2063 Walz, who \u200che believed is an ineffective figure for this demographic. <\/p>\n<p>He noted that \u200bHarris has significantly lower support among <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/democrats-fight-republicans-surge-with-minority-voters-with-35-million-splash\/\" title=\"Democrats counter Republicans&#039; minority voter surge with M blitz\">black voters compared<\/a> to past Democratic candidates, and referenced a New \u200cYork Times poll indicating that she currently \u200dholds only 78% support, notably \u2063lower than both Hillary Clinton\u200c and Joe Biden. Maher also commented on former President Barack\u2062 Obama\u2019s recent efforts\u2062 to rally black \u200bsupport for\u2062 Harris, which further underscores\u2064 the campaign\u2019s concerns.\u2063 The piece emphasizes the desperation of the \u200bDemocrats to present a viable ticket\u200c as \u200bElection Day nears.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> <script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>More of the media are taking notice of how poorly Vice President Kamala Harris&rsquo; campaign is doing with Election Day fast approaching.<\/p>\n<p>In a clip posted to social media platform X on Friday, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/10-famous-liberals-whove-made-the-nazi-comparison-but-werent-canceled\/\" title=\"10 Famous Liberals Who\u2019ve Made The \u2018Nazi\u2019 Comparison But Weren\u2019t Canceled\">late night host<\/a> of &ldquo;Real Time with Bill Maher&rdquo; Bill Maher gave a monologue to his audience where he mocked and belittled Harris and running mate <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/goes-minnesota\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Minnesota<\/a> Gov.

In a recent clip shared on social media platform X, Bill Maher, host of &#8220;Real Time with Bill Maher,&#8221; delivered a monologue where he ridiculed Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. This week has been particularly challenging for them as they sought to boost their media presence. Although Maher is not a conservative, he often receives praise from right-leaning audiences for critiquing the left when their ideas fail. <\/p>\n<p>In his monologue, Maher stated that things aren&#8217;t looking good for the Democrats and pointed out their weak efforts to connect with black men just 25 days before the election. He noted that it\u2019s concerning when an African American candidate needs to shore up support among black men. Former President Barack Obama recently campaigned for Harris in Pittsburgh, urging black men to support her amid concerns about her lower approval ratings among this demographic compared to previous candidates.<\/p>\n<p>Maher humorously questioned the choice of Walz to engage with young black men at an event in Michigan, suggesting he was not an ideal representative for this outreach effort. He also referenced Obama&#8217;s recent comments aimed at encouraging more support from younger black men while making light of Trump\u2019s sneaker line in comparison to Harris\u2019 identity as an African American candidate.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, while Maher&#8217;s commentary provides entertainment at the expense of Harris and Walz, it also reflects the serious challenges facing their campaign as Election Day approaches<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2354125,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Picture-43.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[32100,32438,36113],"class_list":["post-2354124","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-bill-maher","tag-kamala-harris","tag-tim-walz"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Picture-43.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2354124","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2354124"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2354124\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2354125"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2354124"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2354124"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2354124"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
