Hollywood is turning against Vice President Kamala Harris as liberal-leaning programs have begun mocking her.
During Tuesday’s “The Daily Show” on Comedy Central, the late-night comedy roasted Harris by comparing her to fictional Vice President Selina Meyer from HBO’s “Veep”, which is a comedy show about an inept politician and her staff.

Comedian Bill Maher also mocked Harris on his program, “Real Time,” where he called her a “bad politician.”
“What I could see is replacing the Vice President. Because she’s just not very popular anywhere. And it didn’t seem to work out. And, I don’t know, that’s been done before on a ticket,” Maher said. “I just think she’s a bad politician.”
“I think she’s a very bright person, but I don’t know- I can see them doing that because a lot of the problem with ‘Biden being old’ is- oh, if he dies, then you’re going to get this person,” he continued.
Late-night sketch show “Saturday Night Live” also poked fun at Democrats and the Biden administration during its cold opening last weekend.
As the show opened its 48th season, actor Miles Teller pointed out the sketch comedy’s liberal bias as he played Peyton Manning talking with his brother Eli, who is played by featured cast member Andrew Dismukes.
“Oh, good a Trump sketch. Way to mix it up,” Teller said sarcastically as cast members acted out a scene set at Mar-a-Lago, which is a reference to the FBI raid on former President Donald Trump’s private residence last August.
“I gotta mention, where’s the balance politically?” the “Top Gun Maverick” star complained after a cast member made a joke about explorer Christopher Columbus. “They’re making Trump-Columbus jokes, meanwhile Biden’s lost his damn marbles.”
Democrats and liberals are increasingly growing frustrated over President Joe Biden’s failed policies, which many fear could cost the party their majority in both houses of Congress during the midterm elections in November.
An ABC News/The Washington Post poll found recently that 56 percent of Democratic voters don’t want Biden to run for re-election in 2024, while only 35 percent said he should run for a second term.
