Invoice Maher has a daring forecast for the 2024 election.
“I’m going to make this a very momentous night with a prediction,” Maher instructed his company, former Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.) and conservative pollster Kristen Soltis Anderson, on Friday’s episode of the HBO present “Real Time.”
The prediction? That “it’s over” for GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump.

“I think I have the credibility for this prediction,” Maher stated, noting that he’s been branded a “Trump alarmist” previously.
He stated he accurately predicted that Trump would politically survive prior controversies, like the notorious “grab ’em by the pussy” Entry Hollywood tape.
“Every time he’s done crazy shit and gotten himself in trouble, I said, ‘No, no, it’s not over,’” Maher recalled.
Now, Maher feels otherwise.
“Tonight I’m saying, I think it’s over,” he said bluntly.
The comic in contrast Trump’s rise to the “hold on America” exercised by former Sen. Joseph McCarthy (R-Wis.) ― primarily recognized for his persecution of People suspected to be communists in the course of the Chilly Struggle ― saying that McCarthy’s reputation “blew out” in two to 3 years.
“I feel like ― eating the dogs ― we’re at this point,” Maher quipped, referencing Trump spreading an evidence-free rumor about Haitian immigrants stealing and consuming pets in Springfield, Ohio.
“I just think he’s going to lose.”
The prediction marks a pointy change from what Maher was saying when President Joe Biden was nonetheless working for reelection. Following Biden’s disastrous debate efficiency in June, Maher warned that Trump would beat Biden and that Democrats would “regret” protecting him as their candidate. Biden later dropped out of the White Home race, making room for Kamala Harris on the high of the ticket.
