Bill Maher made no secret of what he thought would happen in November, saying on his podcast that Joe Biden “is going to lose” to Donald Trump.
The HBO host said he would get into a fiery debate with tech journalist Kara Swisher on an episode of her show Club Random airing Sunday.
The liberal comedian made no secret that he would “vote for (Biden’s) head in a jar of blue liquid” before voting for Trump, but he didn’t think there would be enough people who would do the same .
In fact, after saying Biden’s age — 81, the oldest U.S. president — was the biggest problem, he said he thought the election might already be over.
“I think it’s a moot point at this point. He’s going to fucking lose,” Maher said.
Bill Maher made no secret of what he thought would happen in November, saying on his podcast that Joe Biden “is going to lose” to Donald Trump.
Swisher immediately fired back, saying, “No, you’re wrong” and challenging Maher to place a bet.
Maher seemed wishy-washy during the election and unwilling to invest money.
“Not only will I not bet on that premise, but you could change your mind on that in the next two minutes,” Maher said.
Asking Swisher to convince him, the tech editor claimed there was a “silent majority” of voters who “don’t want any more chaos.”
She said these voters, who are largely women and while not publicly anti-Trump, are not willing to vote for him.
Maher seemed skeptical of this premise.
“Do I think it’s entirely possible, what you’ve described?” Yes. Or it couldn’t be and I can’t tell the difference,” Maher said.
Maher thought the opposite might be true, that there is a “silent majority” of Trump voters who could tip the scales.

“The shy Trump voter is the one who is going to vote for Trump, but doesn’t want you to know about it because it’s a little downgraded,” he said.
Swisher argued that Maher was too pure about Biden when the alternative is Trump.
“I think the problem with someone like you is that you – the focus on Biden versus the danger of Trump, you focus on ‘the scones don’t taste very good’ when the house burns “I’m just telling you, you know it. You’re aware of it,” Swisher said.
Maher fired back, saying journalists and pundits “lose our credibility” when they don’t talk about Biden’s aging.
The Real Time host has repeatedly expressed skepticism of President Biden while saying he prefers him over Trump.
Maher suggested that the only thing Democratic and Republican voters have in common is that “they both hope their candidates die” before the 2024 election.
In an interview with the New York Times, he doubled down on his comments, joking that the octogenarian should accept that he walks “like a child with a full diaper.”
The comedian took aim at the president’s age of 81, saying he “presents an old man” during his appearance on The View last week.

Maher, 68, pointed out that Biden is only three years older than Trump, 78, but is perceived as much older.
“Biden just presents himself as being old and that’s not really fair because he’s almost the same age as Trump,” he said.
“But Trump doesn’t present that way you look at someone right away, you can sum it up.
“We’re not young but we don’t present ourselves as old,” he added, gesturing to co-host Joy Behar, 81.
“I saw him give this speech yesterday, he looks like a corpse. He should get out, he has lost people’s trust, it’s not fair.
He then made comparisons to Dracula, calling out President Ruth Bader Biden, the former Supreme Court justice who died in office despite demands to resign.
Her refusal to resign during the Obama administration, as suggested, paved the way for Donald Trump to ultimately replace her with a more conservative judge after her death.
Maher, who has been an outspoken critic of the president and Trump, predicted a similar fate for Biden.
