HBO host Bill Maher recommended President Biden discard Vice President Kamala Harris in favor of Nimarata ‘Nikki’ Haley to enhance his 2024 election odds.
Recognizing that neoconservative globalists like Haley do not have a place in the current Republican Party “as long as Trump is ascendent,” Maher floated his “dream, unity ticket” of Biden-Haley during a panel discussion on his show.
“I know it’s crazy to think that she could run with Biden, but that’s my dream, a unity ticket,” Maher said. “And then he would, I think, definitely win.”
“And of course, she’s said some crazy things. Most politicians have — not as crazy as ‘We’ve never been a racist country.’ I mean, that’s pretty crazy,” Maher added.
When Puck’s Tara Palmeri suggested replacing Harris with Haley would “literally destroy” the Democratic base, Maher responded: “But she’s a woman of color.”
In the same segment, Maher voiced his support for Mitt Romney as Biden’s Secretary of State, arguing that his appointment would be “[s]omething to reach across so that we don’t live in this world where everybody sees the other side as an existential threat.”
In an interview with Mediaite’s Aidan McLaughlin, Maher called for Biden to remove himself from the Democratic ticket. “If Biden drops out, [Democrats] will win,” Maher said. “Without a doubt.”
