Jon Stewart Tells Kamala Harris Point-Blank He’s Skeptical Of Her Main Excuse For Losing In 2024

Comedian Jon Stewart told former Vice President Kamala Harris on “The Weekly Show with Jon Stewart” Thursday that he disagreed with her claim that she lost the 2024 presidential election due to the brevity of her campaign.

Since publishing her new memoir, “107 Days,” Harris has been on a media tour recounting her failed campaign and asserting a major reason for her loss was the 107 days she had after former President Joe Biden dropped out and endorsed her on July 21, 2024. After Harris repeated the claim on his podcast, Stewart told the former vice president he believed she actually would have won had the campaign been shorter.

“Or was it too much time? I mean, if you had done the election after 60 days, I think you win, honestly,” Stewart replied. “There seemed like a stagnation point. And then if you look at the lines …what would have changed?”

The New York Times’ polling showed Harris’ biggest leads were during the middle of her campaign, followed by a tightening race toward the end.

Harris then acknowledged there were other factors for her loss
