Bill Maher says replacing Biden is inevitable: ‘Blood in the water’

Political talk show host Bill Maher said President Joe Biden’s voluntary — or forceful removal — as the Democratic Party’s selection for November is not a matter of “if,” but when.

“The one thing I know for sure is this: The question isn’t if, it’s who because he is not going to be the Democrats candidate for president,” Maher, host of HBO’s Real Time with Bill Maher, said Friday evening.

“The one thing I know for sure about America is this: it’s run by ‘Mean Girls’ — mean girls in the press and in politics and in life, and when they smell blood in the water, the lust to finish off a vulnerable person will never be denied,” said Maher.

The comedian and late-night host predicted that Biden would withdraw from the race before the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, which is scheduled to begin on August 19.

Maher expects him to step down by August 9, which would leave 10 days for things to settle somewhat before the DNC delegates descend on the Windy City.

“Biden is toast,” said Maher. “The walls will keep crumbling, and my pick in the office pool for when he gives it up is August 9.”

Biden’s stamina and mental sharpness came under intense criticism following the first presidential debate in late June.

Since then, dozens of Democratic lawmakers and strategists have called for Biden to step down, but Biden has refused.

Maher anticipated that the Democratic Party will swap him out for Vice President Kamala Harris and the political upset will “seem like a big deal for about three days, and then we’ll all be over it.”

“Kamala Harris, vice president, will get all of Biden’s campaign money, and on the Democrat’s best issue, abortion. She’s a walking reminder to women that Republicans are coming for the abortion bill,” said Maher. “She won’t just protect Plan B. She is Plan B.

“For whatever reason, Harris has never been popular,” Maher continued. “In four years as vice president, she’s been quieter than an electric car. And like an electric car, your MAGA Uncle can’t explain why she fills him with homicidal rage. She just does.”

Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) and Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D-MI) are also top contenders.
