In a recent segment on his show "Real Time," Bill Maher took a bold stance on the future of President Joe Biden's candidacy, declaring that "Biden is toast" and insisting that he will not be the Democratic candidate for president in the 2024 election.

Maher, known for his outspoken and often controversial opinions, expressed his belief that America is "run by mean girls" in the press, politics, and life in general. He argued that once they sense weakness, they will eagerly seize the opportunity to pounce on a vulnerable person.

While Maher did not give a specific reason for his prediction that Biden would drop out, he speculated that it could happen on August 9, the 50th anniversary of President Richard Nixon's resignation. However, Maher downplayed the significance of a new candidate, claiming that the shock would quickly fade and America would move on.

During the segment, Maher discussed potential Democratic politicians who could replace Biden, including Vice President Kamala Harris, California Governor Gavin Newsom, Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg. He also mentioned several Democratic governors like Wes Moore, Andy Beshear, and Josh Shapiro as possibilities. Maher highlighted their moderate stances, relative youth, and party affiliation as desirable qualities.

Dismissing the notion of a superstar candidate, Maher suggested that Americans need someone new and fresh in the political landscape. He humorously stated that they should aim for a candidate who is reasonably safe, relatively clean, and not reminiscent of Donald Trump's controversial presidency.

Maher's criticism of Biden's decision to run for reelection has been apparent for some time, as he has previously referred to the President as "Ruth Bader Biden." He bemoaned Biden's persistence in the race despite calls from Democrats, media members, and influential Hollywood donors for him to drop out.

The host also criticized Biden's recent press conference, describing it as the "worst possible thing that could happen." Maher expressed frustration with the president's performance, suggesting that it had left Democrats unsure of their next steps. He playfully mocked Biden's slip-up in referring to Harris as "Vice President Trump," highlighting the irony of confusing the two individuals.

As the 2024 election approaches, Bill Maher's commentary adds to the ongoing speculation about Biden's future as a candidate. His prediction and musings on potential replacements offer an intriguing perspective on the evolving political landscape within the Democratic Party.

It remains to be seen how influential Maher's predictions will be and whether Biden's presidency will continue to face scrutiny and doubts about his ability to lead the nation into the next election.
