In a scathing critique, comedian Bill Maher took aim at Joe Biden's performance in the presidential debate against Donald Trump, comparing it to a beauty pageant contestant's ability to answer questions. Maher's remarks came during the opening monologue of his show, Real Time, as he discussed the aftermath of the debate.

Maher did not mince words when expressing his disappointment in Biden's debate performance, remarking that he had witnessed beauty pageant contestants answer questions better than the president. The comedian has been a consistent critic of Biden's chances at re-election, often pointing to his age as the primary concern.

Addressing the debate night, Maher highlighted Trump's repeated falsehoods and suggested that Biden would not have allowed him to get away with such blatant misinformation. Maher also referenced a recent poll that indicated a decline in the number of voters who believe Biden is mentally capable of another four years as president, following his struggles during the debate.

The comedian humorously dubbed Biden with a new Secret Service codename, "Amber Heard," referencing the infamous testimony of actor Johnny Depp, who claimed that his ex-wife defecated in their bed during an argument. Maher's comment added another layer of criticism to Biden's debate performance.

Maher has previously criticized Biden's immigration policy, suggesting that it could cost him the presidency. In June, he pointed to Biden's executive action limiting the number of migrants allowed to claim asylum at the border, stating that it could be a significant factor in Biden's potential loss.

Following the debate, Biden made efforts to clean up some of the arguments he had presented on stage. At a rally in North Carolina, he acknowledged his age and touted his ability to tell the truth and get things done. He reassured the audience that he wouldn't be running for president if he didn't believe wholeheartedly in his capacity to do the job.

Meanwhile, Trump seized the opportunity to highlight Biden's perceived lack of competence during the debate. Speaking at a rally in Virginia, he claimed that Biden did not know what he was doing and criticized the rules and moderators of the debate.

As the aftermath of the debate continues to unfold, both candidates are striving to regain momentum and secure voter support. With the election nearing, Biden aims to restore confidence in his abilities, while Trump continues to paint his opponent as unfit for office.
