On a Real Time episode and subsequently on social media, Maher criticized Harris, saying she was blaming others for her loss. He jokingly said that the book could be called Everyone Sucks But Me which implies that Harris was not to blame for the issues in her campaign.
Bill Maher drew attention to the fact that Harris had access to substantial campaign funds and support from a large number of voters. He also ridiculed her reason as to why she did not select Pete Buttigieg as her running mate and stated that her reason sounded defensive.
