Anti-Biden liberal Bill Maher makes hilarious dig at Joe in New York Times op-ed urging the Democrats to dump the 81 year-old president
Bill Maher has called on Democrats to dump President Joe Biden after his disastrous performance in last week’s debate against Donald Trump.
The comedian and expert wrote in an opinion piece for The New York Times that the first debate between Biden and Trump was the worst episode of The Golden Bachelor ever.”
Maher also took issue with claims from Biden’s allies that the president had a cold during the debate.
The Real Time presenter wrote: ‘If he had a cold, why did he go campaigning the next morning instead of putting his 81-year-old body to bed?’
Maher, however, said the debate was a blessing in disguise rather than a tragedy because it opened up the opportunity for the 81-year-old president to step aside before the Democratic convention.

“Democrats can no longer afford to suspend their disbelief,” Maher wrote, adding that an open Congress would be far more exciting than another Biden nomination.
‘[Democrats] “We were going to have a competition, which is something Americans love,” Maher continued.
“Who gets the rose this August in Chicago? Gavin or Gretchen? Suddenly Stacey Abrams might say she’s in! And Tim Ryan, too, and Josh Shapiro! And Amy Klobuchar and Ruben Gallego! And Mayor Pete and Raphael Warnock! And Wes Moore, and who knows, maybe Andrew Yang will say he’s a Democrat again!”
Maher shared that his own choice would be to let Newsom govern California because “people are attracted to what appears to be strength, much more than specific policies. And he looks great on TV.”
The comedian also delved into the president’s disastrous debate Friday in his opening monologue for his Max show, Real Time.
Maher has regularly criticized Biden’s re-election chances. He often cited his age as the biggest problem.
Earlier in June, Maher declared that Biden’s new immigration policies would cost him the presidency, after he issued an executive action limiting the number of migrants who can arrive at the border and seek asylum to 2,500 per day.
Maher said: “If Biden loses this election, it will be because of two things: He is old… and immigration.”
Meanwhile, Biden’s campaign has spent the days since the debate — during which he sounded hoarse, rambled and sometimes delivered convoluted answers — scrambling to keep donors and surrogates on board as Democrats increasingly questioned whether he should stay in the race.
At this point in the delegation process, Biden would likely have to decide to resign before there would be a new nominee. And the people he listens to most in the world – his wife and son – tell him to stay inside.
