Bill Maher Urges Democrats To ‘Stop F**king Around’ And Replace Biden With New Nominee

Bill Maher is doubling down — and reiterating that President Joe Biden can’t win the race.

The “Real Time” host, who declared after last month’s disastrous debate against Donald Trump that Biden “is going to lose” reelection, isn’t convinced that the ongoing efforts to reassure voters will succeed.

“Stop fucking around,” urged Maher. “The issue with President Biden isn’t if, it’s who: Who’s going to replace him? Because he isn’t going to be the Democrats’ candidate for president in 2024. … Biden is toast, the walls will keep crumbling.”

Maher predicted that Biden will step down on August 9 — the 50th anniversary of former President Richard Nixon’s resignation, albeit for “very different reasons” than the Watergate scandal.

But the Democratic Party has a roster of viable replacements, the pundit maintained.

Maher suggested Vice President Kamala Harris or Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg as the nominee, before name-checking several Democratic governors, including California’s Gavin Newsom and Michigan’s Gretchen Whitmer, as well as somewhat lower-profile state executives like Pennsylvania’s Josh Shapiro, Colorado’s Jared Polis and Maryland’s Wes Moore.

“No one knows who these people are, and that’s good,” he added, of the latter group. “We need some new characters on this sitcom we call a country. … These guys, all you need to know is they’re moderates, they’re under 100 years old, and they have a ‘D’ next to their names.”

Biden, seen here campaigning in Detroit on Friday, recently said he “isn’t going anywhere.”

The subject of Biden’s exit from the presidential race reached fever pitch last month, when a CNN flash poll following his catastrophic debate performance saw 67% of viewers say they felt Trump did better.

Biden has stumbled since then, as well. He not only confused his own vice president with Trump at a press conference Thursday, but introduced Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy as “President Putin” hours earlier.

Still, the president recently told fellow Democrats that he “isn’t going anywhere.”

Maher told his audience after last month’s debate that Biden might be “the only guy who could lose” to Trump. Longtime strategist James Carville and the New York Times’ editorial board, as well as some Democratic lawmakers, have since shared similar forecasts.

“We’re at the airport and at this point, we just need to be sure we get the last rental car,” Maher said Friday in his plea to replace Biden. “Something reasonably safe, relatively clean and not Trump. If there isn’t a dead Girl Scout in the trunk, we’re good to go.”
