Maher predicted that Biden will step down on August 9 — the fiftieth anniversary of former President Richard Nixon’s resignation, albeit for “very different reasons” than the Watergate scandal.
However the Democratic Get together has a roster of viable replacements, the pundit maintained.
Maher instructed Vice President Kamala Harris or Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg because the nominee, earlier than name-checking a number of Democratic governors, together with California’s Gavin Newsom and Michigan’s Gretchen Whitmer, in addition to considerably 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.”
