Bill Maher, a liberal talk show host and occasional voice of reason, is not on board with the panic that is setting in on the left.
As former President Donald Trump continues to rise in the polls so close to Election Day, Democrats are finding themselves confronted with the uncomfortable possibility that even their backup candidate may not be enough to keep the White House in November. This has predictably led to “desperation” from Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign, who is pulling out all the stops to claw back a portion of the voting base that has jumped ship for the Republican candidate.
But one person who won’t be losing their head about the potential outcome of the race is Maher. During a recent episode of his “Club Random” podcast, Maher debated guest Dr. Philip McGraw on a number of topics, but eventually, the conversation turned to what Maher would do if Trump won in November.
“Nothing,” he said simply. “Nothing. Going on with my show and making jokes at his expense every week.”
“And that’s why this is a great country. Because as crazy as he is, you know, he didn’t do anything about it the first time. So I’m just not going to lose my nervous system about it,” the liberal host reasoned.
However, this doesn’t mean Maher would be pleased with the outcome. He still believes that Trump is capable of throwing those who criticize him in jail.
“Now, he could. He’s insane, so he could start sending people to Guantánamo Bay. I don’t put anything past this guy,” he added. “He thinks they’re eating the cats and the dogs. But am I going to worry about it? First of all, I’m not going to worry about it, Phil, because he’s not going to win.”
“I’ve been known as a Trump alarmist, and now I’m saying I’m not even nervous. It’s going to be close. The polls will be dead even on Election Day.”
As BizPac Review previously reported, Maher is convinced that Kamala has 2024 in the bag and that America will not have a second Trump presidency.
“I said it weeks ago. But the polls will be even on Election Day. I promise you. Just don’t worry about it. Don’t think about it. I don’t think about it. Just don’t think about it,” the host explained to Fran Lebowitz during “Overtime with Bill Maher.”
