Bill Maher predicts Biden will lose to Trump in 2024, compares him to Ruth Bader Ginsburg
"Club Random" host Bill Maher is souring on President Biden's chances of beating Trump in the 2024 election during an interview with Democratic strategist James Carville.
Liberal comedian "Bill Maher" knocked President Biden for being "selfish" as he seeks reelection, insisting Democrats would win in November if he were to drop out.
In an interview with Mediaite released Thursday, Maher was asked about his past calls for Biden to step aside and whether it "risks" a victory for former President Trump if Democrats switched out the top of their ticket.
Maher predicted the opposite.
"If Biden drops out, they'll win, without doubt!" Maher exclaimed. "Biden should drop out. That's the point. He's being selfish."

The HBO host went on to cite famed Democratic strategist James Carville, who argued on Maher's "Club Random" podcast last year that it would be a blowout against Trump if any Democrat in their 50s replaced Biden.
"Of course, he's not the voice of God, who knows. But that is my basic belief also, is that it's theirs for the taking," Maher added.
A year ago, Maher was confident Biden was the only Democrat who could defeat Trump in 2024.
But that changed last fall when he began calling the president "Ruth Bader Biden," comparing him to the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who famously chose not to step down under President Obama which allowed President Trump to appoint her replacement following her passing in 2020.

He invoked the Ginbsurg comparison against following the release of Special Counsel Robert Hur's report, which put a spotlight on Biden's mental acuity.
"I said he was going to be the Ruth Bader Ginsburg of presidential politics… He stayed too long at the fair," Maher said last month. "Bubbling up this week… he won't do the Super Bowl interview, which is not a hard one, mixing up all the world leaders and then this report that came out."
Maher also argued for Biden to be switched out at the DNC convention this summer, recalling comments Biden made during the 2020 election cycle when he referred to himself as a "bridge" for Democrats, insisting that was a "big hint" that he wasn't intending to seek reelection.

"'I see myself as a bridge.' I read that as one term," Maher said last month. "And I guess the question now is, is it too late? And I don't think it is because I still think you can do it at the convention. People have said to me, 'Oh, that's ridiculous. They'll look like-' They'll look like nothing. Nobody gives a f--- what they do at the convention."
Biden's age and mental acuity continue to be a major issue for him going into the 2024 presidential election as the vast majority of Americans, including Democrats, believe he's too old to seek a second term.
