Bill Maher, a comedian, reportedly criticized Vice President Kamala Harris for failing to engage with electors who are not ideologically captured by either side and for avoiding media that is not “already in the bubble.”
In an interview with Hollywood director Quentin Tarantino for his Club Random with Bill Maher podcast, the comedian argued that the Democratic Party had a longstanding practice of avoiding voters in the center of the party-political spectrum, which caused the party to appear “scared.”
“But the bigger issue is the left and their ability or their desire to engage with anyone who’s not already in the bubble. And they get a big fat D minus on that. I mean, you see Kamala, I mean, I’m glad she’s doing well, I’m glad we have a real fight now for president. But [she] doesn’t talk to the press. You know? Would never go near me. You know, when you won’t go near the people who are going to vote for you. I’m going to vote for you. Do I have to love everything? No, I don’t. It just shows…” Maher said.
“Well, there’s no reason for her to go on your show before the election.” Tarantino responded.
“Yes, there is. Because I speak to the exact voter she needs, the person who is in the middle, the person who is not ideologically captured by either side.” Maher said in response.
Now, there are some who watch who are that, and everyone is welcome. I need a bigger audience all the time. I’m greedy that way. But basically, that’s exactly the audience she needs.” he continued.
“The MSNBC crowd is already voting for her. People who watch me, who will decide, this election will probably be decided in like four states by something like 80,000 votes in each. That’s how [close] these elections are these days. And that’s where we’re back to. We’re at least back to normal, which sucked, but it is normal that it’s 50-50 going into the election. With Biden, it wouldn’t have been.” Maher concluded.
