Failed Democratic candidate and former Vice President Kamala Harris was decisively defeated by President Donald Trump in the 2024 election, just a few months after she received her party's mantle by default following former President Joe Biden's belated withdrawal from the re-election race.

During a Tuesday appearance on "The View," Harris asserted that one of the "biggest" reasons for her embarrassing loss was that she "didn’t have enough time" to effectively campaign against Trump, according to the New York Post.

That claim is rather dubious, however, as polling at the time suggests that Harris had already peaked in popularity and was on the downside, meaning a longer campaign against Trump might have resulted only in her losing to him even more resoundingly.

Kamala says she "didn't have enough time" to defeat Trump

On Tuesday, former VP Harris returned to ABC's "The View," where it could be reasonably argued that she effectively killed her campaign in October 2024 when she wiffed on a softball question and failed to differentiate herself from the exceedingly unpopular former President Biden.

This time, Harris was promoting her new book, "107 Days," which references the limited three-and-a-half months time she had to mount a campaign against President Trump after Biden dropped his ill-fated re-election bid in late July.

Asked by co-host Ana Navarro to pinpoint the main reason for her devastating loss in November, Harris replied, "There are many factors, I think, that played into the outcome of that election. But I think probably one of the biggest, in my mind, is we just didn’t have enough time."

She then seemed to at least partially blame Biden for putting her in the difficult position, as she explained, "[Biden] decides not to run. The sitting vice president then takes the mantle, running against a former president of the United States who had been running for ten years, with 107 days until the election."

She may have lost even worse with more time to campaign

Kamala Harris seemed to suggest to the co-hosts of "The View" that, if only she'd had more time, she might have been able to defeat President Trump's successful re-election run last year, but that may be nothing more than wishful thinking on her part, and the opposite could be true.

For example, a refreshing glance at the 2024 general election polling shows that Harris received a substantial bump in popularity after she first entered the race in late July, quickly surpassing Trump, but had peaked by mid-September and stalled out until late October, when her numbers began to plummet and she fell behind the eventual victor.

To be sure, given more time to campaign, Harris might have been able to rebound and retake the lead from Trump once more, but given all past experiences with Harris and her terrible track record in prior campaigns, it seems just as likely, if not more so, that her polling numbers would continue to decline.

Indeed, as long as Harris has been a public figure, she always starts strong but quickly fades and losses support the longer the public has to observe her and realize that she is an unlikeable empty suit offering nothing but meaningless platitudes and word salads.

In fact, according to the polls, had Harris campaigned for less than three months, she may well have won the presidency. Instead, she blew through more than $1.5 billion in just 15 weeks and managed to loss not only the all-important Electoral College, but also the national popular vote and all seven of the critically decisive swing states.

Trump is laughing at Kamala's self-destruction

In her book, according to the Post, Harris reflected on her fateful October 2024 appearance on "The View" and her botched opportunity to distance herself from Biden, which was so damaging to her campaign that she likened it to having "just pulled the pin on a hand grenade."

She would go on to share some of the things that she should have said but didn't, and while she continues to lament her dismal failures, Trump is laughing his way through his second term.
