What a load of nonsense.
On a recent episode of his HBO show “Real Time with Bill Maher,” comedian Bill Maher shared his outlook on the 2024 presidential election, suggesting that former President Donald Trump is unlikely to win. Maher, known for his outspoken views, expressed his belief that Trump’s chances are fading as the election approaches.
During the discussion with political commentator and GOP pollster Kristen Soltis Anderson and former Senator Al Franken, Maher explained his position. He mentioned that despite past criticisms of his views on Trump, he now feels confident in predicting Trump’s loss. Maher referenced his previous doubts about Trump’s chances even after the release of the controversial “Access Hollywood” tape.
Kristen Soltis Anderson responded by challenging Maher’s prediction. She argued that Trump’s established reputation and his policy positions still hold significant sway with voters. Anderson noted that, based on current battleground state polls, the race remains highly competitive, with many key states showing very close results.
Polling data from sources such as The Hill/Decision Desk HQ supports this view, showing a tight race in crucial battleground states like Michigan and Pennsylvania, where Vice President Kamala Harris holds a narrow lead over Trump. National polling averages also indicate a close contest, with Harris slightly ahead.
Despite the tight polls, Maher remains convinced that Trump will ultimately lose. He predicts that while the polls may show a close race on Election Day, Trump will not prevail. This debate highlights the differing perspectives on Trump’s electoral chances and the ongoing uncertainties surrounding the 2024 election.
