Bill Maher urges Joe to resign as President on his return show, dubs him ‘Ruth Bader Biden’.
‘Ruth Bader Biden’: Bill Maher Urges Joe to Step Down from Presidency in Fiery Comeback Show
In a highly anticipated return after the end of the writer’s strike, Bill Maher made a bold statement that has sparked controversy. The host of “Real Time” didn’t hold back, expressing his belief that President Joe Biden should not seek re-election. Maher compared this potential decision to the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s controversial choice to remain in office during Barack Obama’s presidency.
“Someone has to convince President Biden that if he runs again he’s going to turn the country back over to Trump. And go down in history as Ruth Bader Biden.”
Ginsburg’s refusal to step down allowed former President Donald Trump to appoint GOP Justice Amy Coney Barrett in her place, a move that Maher clearly sees as problematic.
Maher continued his passionate monologue, emphasizing the importance of perception in politics. He argued that voters perceive Biden as too old, which could ultimately lead to his defeat against Trump, despite their similar ages.
“Look, at some point perception becomes reality. What matters is voters think Biden’s too old. What matters is he’s gonna lose to Trump — who’s almost the same age, but his age just doesn’t read like Biden’s.”
While Maher did take a few jabs at Trump, he couldn’t help but acknowledge the former president’s seemingly robust appearance compared to Biden’s more frail demeanor.
In a recent poll conducted by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research, a significant majority of U.S. adults (77%) expressed the belief that Biden is too old for a second term, compared to 51% for Trump.

Despite his criticism, Maher did commend Biden for his first term. However, he firmly stated that there should only be one term for Biden, urging him to step down and make way for a new leader.
The comedian, known for his outspoken views, emphasized that ageism should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. He highlighted that while some individuals in their 80s or 90s may still be fit for the job, it’s crucial to consider each person individually.
Interestingly, former President Trump has echoed a similar sentiment in the past, pointing out that age doesn’t necessarily determine one’s ability to lead.
Maher concluded his segment by reiterating his stance that Biden should step down if he doesn’t want to be remembered as “Ruth Bader Biden.” He humorously emphasized that America is calling for a new leader, and Biden should heed that call.

Opinion:
Bill Maher’s recent comments urging President Joe Biden to step down from the presidency have ignited a heated debate. While some argue that Biden should continue his leadership for another term, Maher believes that this could have adverse consequences for the country. Comparing the potential outcome to Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s controversial decision to remain in office, Maher argues that Biden’s re-election bid could lead to the resurgence of former President Donald Trump.
One of Maher’s main points revolves around the perception of Biden’s age. While Biden and Trump are both in their 70s, Maher claims that voters deem Biden as too old to continue effectively leading the nation. In Maher’s eyes, Trump’s seemingly vibrant appearance plays a role in this perception, leading to a potential defeat for Biden if he chooses to run for a second term.
Maher recognizes the importance of evaluating ageism on a case-by-case basis. While some individuals in their 80s or 90s may still possess the necessary capabilities for leadership, each person should be assessed individually. Maher’s argument centers on the belief that Biden’s age and perceived fragility overshadow his ability to lead effectively for another term.
Interestingly, Maher’s views align with those expressed by former President Trump in the past. Trump has emphasized that age should not be the sole determining factor in evaluating a leader’s capabilities. Both Maher and Trump highlight the importance of assessing a person’s individual qualities and abilities, rather than focusing solely on age.
Maher did commend Biden for his first term, acknowledging his efforts and accomplishments. However, he firmly believes that there should only be one term for Biden, urging him to step down and make way for a new leader. Maher emphasizes that America is calling for a fresh face in leadership, and Biden should heed that call.
Controversy and Backlash:
Maher’s comments have sparked controversy and garnered backlash from supporters of President Biden. Critics argue that Maher’s statements undermine the democratic process and the right of the American people to choose their leader. They contend that it is up to the voters to decide whether Biden should continue as president or seek re-election.
Some have accused Maher of ageism
