Political commentator and comedian Bill Maher is certain that Joe Biden is not going to be the Democrat candidate. And he has a very specific prediction that Joe Biden would make the historic decision to opt out of the race by August 9. “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.”
“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.
August 9 is the anniversary of Richard Nixon’s resignation from the office following the Watergate scandal on 1974. He He handed the presidency over to his then-Vice President Gerald Ford.
Bill Maher said it would come as a big deal but after three days people will be over it.
Kamala Harris has emerged as the most likely name but Maher predicted that California Governor Gavin Newsom, Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer and transportation secretary Pete Buttigieg are also viable candidates for the race.
There’s around a month left for Maher’s predicted date and there’s no sign that Biden is inclined to withdraw. After his ‘big boy’ Nato press conference in which he made two gaffes by referring to Zelensky as President Putin and Kamala Harris as Trump, Biden returned to the campaign train Friday seeking to reassure voters and Democrats.
“We’ve got to finish the job. And I promise you I am OK,” the 81-year-old told supporters at a diner in Northville in the battleground state of Michigan, which he must win in November to beat Donald Trump.
Biden’s campaign has dismissed the gaffes and said that he would continue doing so as he has been doing for the past 40 years.
“The president understands that there’s still some anxiety,” Biden campaign communications director Michael Tyler told reporters traveling to Michigan with the president aboard Air Force One.
“Joe Biden has been making gaffes for 40 years, he made a couple of last night, he probably will continue to do so,” he said.
