HBO host Bill Maher doubled down on his calls for President Joe Biden to drop out of the presidential race and predicted that the 81-year-old commander in chief would make the historic decision in August.
“The issue with President Biden isn’t if, it’s who,” Maher said during Friday’s airing of “Real Time with Bill Maher.” “Who will replace him? Because he is not going to be the Democrats’ candidate for president in 2024, all due respect.”
Maher believes that Biden is finished because the American press and politics are run by “mean girls” with a lust to finish off a “vulnerable person” and will put an end to his re-election disaster on August 9.
“Biden is toast. The walls will keep crumbling and my pick in the office pool for when he gives it up is August 9,” Maher said.
“Yes, replacing a president as his party’s candidate this late will seem like a big deal,” Maher said. “For about three days, and then we’ll all be over it”
Maher named Vice President Kamala Harris, California Gov. Gavin Newsom, Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg as viable candidates the Democrats could choose to replace Biden.
If she were elected, Harris would become the first female, first black woman and first Asian to serve as president — none of which impresses Maher.
“I don’t vote for who will be the first, I vote for who would win and for whatever reason, Harris has never been popular,” Maher said before ripping on Harris’ failed presidential campaign four years ago.
“You can count the number of delegates she won in the 2020 primaries on one hand, as long as that hand has no fingers.”
“In three years as vice president, she has been quieter than an electric car.”

It is so obvious by now that Maher will vote for Trump despite his comments to the contrary.
August, huh. Wow! Bill is a regular Carnac the Magnificent.
Moo wearing a cultural appropriated white chick wig.
Love all their expressions, LOL!
Kamala? Thought his VP was Trump.
They voted for the Biden/Harris ticket. So if Biden can’t do it, Harris gets to run for President. She’ll “finish” what Joe had started. There’s no justification to go with anybody else this late in the game. And like you said, it’s not Democratic.
Jill is the lynchpin here.
Come on, Dr Jill. Look what the democrat party is trying to do to you. After all of the great things you and Joe did for the country, the party wants to throw you out on your ear. Don’t let them deprive you of all of the First Lady glory and perks you so deserve.
You owe the party nothing anymore and should do everything possible to get revenge. The only path forward is for Joe to run and win. Screw what the party wants.

It is an interesting “technicality” but in fact the Presidential nominee can dump the VP nominee as late as the convention—and in fact later than that if the party rules permit it.
Remember when McGovern dumped Eagleton?
At the end of the day the VP nominee is on the ticket at the pleasure of the Presidential nominee.
