In a recent interview with CNN anchor Chris Wallace, comedian and TV host Bill Maher predicted that former President Donald Trump will “probably be president again.” Maher’s comments came during an episode of Wallace’s Max series, “Who’s Talking to Chris Wallace,” in which they discussed various topics, including politics, Maher’s affinity for marijuana, and his new book.
A preview clip revealed Wallace’s surprise at Maher’s casual prediction of a Trump victory over Joe Biden. Wallace referenced Maher’s recent remarks on his podcast “Club Random,” where he told Jerry Seinfeld that he would not “go nuts” if Trump were to win. Wallace asked if this indicated Maher thought a second Trump term would not be as troubling or if he had become indifferent. Maher clarified, “I care, but I’m not going to lose my nervous system at every step. This is the guy who’s going to be probably President again.”
“Do you really think so?” Wallace questioned.
“Odds on, yes,” Maher replied. “He’s certainly winning now, and Biden does not look like a very good candidate.”
However, the usually measured Maher also appeared to take a page out of the Biden campaign’s “full Hitler” strategy, suggesting Trump intends to become some sort of dictator. Wallace recalled Maher’s past predictions regarding Trump’s reluctance to concede an election if he lost, which Maher affirmed.
“Starting in 2018, you began predicting that if Donald Trump lost his re-election bid in 2020, he wouldn’t leave,” Wallace noted. Maher responded, “I said it before he was elected the first time. I kept saying it was a slow-moving coup. It’s happening, and we see the stages of it. The right-wing has convinced themselves that he’s just a buffoonish comedian who says crazy things, but this is very serious. He’s running a much more serious campaign this time.”
Maher has been critical of Biden’s government and his campaign. In March, Maher recommended that Biden replace Kamala Harris with Nikki Haley to increase his reelection chances. The liberal commentator has also been vocal about the far-left that has largely seized control of the Democratic Party. Recently, he described transgenderism as a “TikTok challenge that got out of hand.”

Dade Phelan, Speaker of the Texas House, narrowly survived a contentious primary runoff against fellow Republican David Covey. The Associated Press declared Phelan the winner of the Texas House District 21 race late on May 28. Unofficial election results indicate that Phelan secured 50.7 percent of the vote against Covey’s 49.3 percent, with about 97 percent of results tallied as of 4:50 AM. ET Wednesday.
The primary runoff occurred amid ongoing turmoil within the Texas GOP, driven by a conflict between supporters of Donald J. Trump‘s Make America Great Again movement and Texas establishment Republican politicians. As Speaker, Phelan presided over the sham impeachment trial of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton in September. Paxton was acquitted by the State Senate after Phelan’s star witnesses either recanted or admitted their testimony was made up.

“I think it’s kind of sexy, frankly,” Perry says about being called a RINO, while putting his hand on his head to mimic a rhino’s horn. “When you think about it … it’s one of the baddest boys on the block, right?”https://t.co/BlSKByIxuY
Trump — along with Paxton and allies like Sid Miller — had urged voters to oust Phelan, framing the race as pivotal in the internal struggle. Despite Phelan’s victory, at least six of his eight allies in the Texas House lost their primary races to conservative and populist challengers. Following Phelan’s victory, Paxton took to social media to express his discontent, suggesting that Democratic voters were responsible for the result. “Democrats just reelected Dade Phelan. We must close our primaries. Now,” he said.
In March, Covey had led Phelan in the initial GOP primary with 46 percent to 43 percent. Needing a majority to avoid a runoff, the election contest moved to a second vote on Tuesday. Over the campaign, Covey questioned Phelan’s conservative credentials and criticized his appointment of Democrats to legislative committee chairs.

Few people attended Joe Biden’s rally in Philadelphia on Wednesday, spelling trouble for the 81-year-old Democrat in the critical swing state of Pennsylvania. Photographs from New York Post reporter Steven Nelson showed large empty sections of the school gymnasium where the event was held. Nelson noted on X, formerly Twitter, that the space was only about half full, with part of it occupied by the press.
Pennsylvania is critical to Biden’s reelection prospects, but his support in the Keystone State has slipped significantly. A New York Times/Siena College/Philadelphia Inquirerpoll this month showed his support among demographics that had been solidly behind him in 2020 has plummeted: youth support is down from 62 percent in 2020 to 47 percent and black and Hispanic support is down from 71 percent to 57 percent.

Biden generated similarly low levels of support at another swing state outing in Atlanta, Georgia, earlier this month. Mere tens of people turned out to see the Democrat at a Mary Mac’s Tea Room event geared towards shoring up his support among black voters. Footage from the sparsely attended gathering shows him shuffling around in a confused state, eliciting a mixture of sympathy and laughter from attendees.
Donald Trump, in contrast, has held rallies attended by tens of thousands of people in the Democratic strongholds of New Jersey and New York in recent weeks, even as he is being dragged through a Manhattan court by a Democratic District Attorney.
Trump’s support in these states — potentially in play despite not having been won by a Republican presidential candidate since 1988 and 1984, respectively — may force the Biden campaign to reallocate resources from its already lackluster swing state efforts.

During an appearance on ABC’s “The View” on Wednesday, Jill Biden claimed that if former President Donald Trump is re-elected in November, there will be disastrous consequences, including significant losses of human rights. “We will lose all of our rights,” Biden insisted.
“[W]e cannot take things for granted, and think of the Supreme Court for God’s sake. Talk about things getting worse? Can you imagine if we put any more Republicans on the Supreme Court? No!” Biden exclaimed.
During her appearance, Biden was promoting her new book, “Willow the White House Cat,” as well as her husband’s re-election campaign. The discussion soon shifted to the role of “women’s rights” in the upcoming election. Co-host Sara Haines observed that women would be crucial in the upcoming election due to ongoing divisive issues.
“We’ve heard Trump bragging about stripping women’s reproductive rights, 14 states have a total ban on abortion, and now IVF is under attack,” Haines remarked. Haines then asked Biden to elaborate on the potential impacts of a Trump presidency. “Well, it could get a lot worse under a Trump presidency,” Biden responded. “You have to believe him when he uses words like ‘dictator,’ ‘bloodbath,’ ‘third term,’ ‘violence,’ we’ve seen it, so when he says these words, believe him,” she said, referencing the debunked “bloodbath” hoax.
“And women’s rights? Absolutely, women’s rights and IVF,” Biden continued — even though Trump has been a staunch supporter of IVF access.
Jill Biden has been at the tip of the spear of the Biden campaign’s “full Hitler” strategy, which Joe Biden unveiled in his “fearmongering” Valley Forge speech. In March, she compared efforts to shield children from explicitly sexual LGBTQ content to Naziism.

Technology billionaire Elon Musk appears to be warming to former President Donald J. Trump and his 2024 presidential campaign. Musk, currently the world’s third richest man, recently discussed a technology project aimed at preventing voter fraud with Trump that he and fellow billionaire Nelson Peltz have developed. Additionally, Musk is allegedly pushing his fellow technology billionaires to forgo contributing to Joe Biden‘s 2024 re-election effort.
Musk’s discussions with Trump have led to speculation that the billionaire could join the former President should Trump retake the White House in November’s presidential election. However, the relationship between, arguably, the two most recognizable men in America hasn’t always been so cordial.
During and just after Trump‘s first term in office, the two exchanged barbs frequently in the press and on social media. Musk and Trump’s point of contention was the latter’s electric vehicle business, Tesla, which is heavily reliant on U.S. government subsidies. Trump has long been a critic of the technology.
Despite their differences, the two now appear to have mended fences. The Wall Street Journalreports that the two have met several times during the early months of the 2024 presidential cycle and discussed issues ranging from illegalimmigration to science and the U.S. Space Force. Trump has signaled to Musk that he’d like to get him more active in both the campaign and future White House.
According to sources close to Musk, the billionaire’s thaw toward Trump has been primarily motivated by his increasing concerns about the country’s direction under Joe Biden. They claim that Musk sees the “woke mind virus” as a serious threat to American culture, politics, and industry.

A new electionforecast indicates former President Donald J. Trump will likely retake the White House in November. The model gives Trump a 58 percent probability of defeating the 81-year-old Democrat incumbent JoeBiden and reclaiming the presidency. This forecast comes as less than six months remain until Election Day. The model — built by Decision Desk HQ on behalf of The Hill — was revealed early on Wednesday.
According to the election model, former President Trump has a slight edge in most of the critical swing states. These states — which include Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Arizona, Minnesota, Georgia, Maine, and North Carolina — are considered pivotal in determining the outcome of presidential elections. All but just two appear to be leaning in favor of Donald Trump, with Michigan, a one-time Democrat stronghold, in a statistical tie.
The projection also suggests favorable outcomes for the Republican Party in Congress. According to the forecast, the GOP has a 79 percent chance of regaining control of the U.S. Senate. This possible shift in the upper chamber could significantly impact legislative priorities and the ability to confirm appointments. In the House of Representatives, the model predicts a 64 percent chance that the Republican Party will retain its slim majority.
Both parties are expected to intensify their campaign operations in the coming months, aiming to secure undecided voters and bolster support in critical regions. The Republican Party is especially focused on efforts to mobilize its populist base and sway independent voters.

The Democratic National Committee (DNC) plans to hold a “virtual roll call” to nominate Joe Biden before the party’s August convention, aiming to secure his place on Ohio’s general election ballot. The announcement arrived Tuesday as the Ohio State Legislature commenced a special session ordered by Republican Gov. Mike DeWine to address the issue.
The Democratic convention, traditionally where candidates for president and vice president are nominated, is scheduled after Ohio’s August 7 deadline for certifying candidates. Ohio GOP lawmakers, holding supermajorities in both the House and Senate, have been hesitant to pass a bill relaxing this deadline for Biden without introducing unrelated campaign finance legislation, which Democrats have labeled a “poison pill.”
The DNC’s rules and bylaws committee is expected to vote on June 4 to allow the virtual roll call. Following this, DNC members will vote on the resolution, enabling a virtual nomination process. Officials have compared this approach to the virtual convention conducted in 2020 due to the pandemic.
Initially, the Biden campaign and DNC resisted initiating such plans. Historically, both parties have resolved Ohio’s certification deadlines without controversy before their nominating conventions. However, DeWine’s call for the special session included addressing a measure to ban foreign money in state ballot issue campaigns alongside the Biden ballot fix. This measure, previously appended to a state Senate version of the Biden-related bill, saw no vote in the state House, precipitating the current urgency.
Nickie Antonio, the Democratic leader in the Ohio Senate, announced the change in strategy, reassuring Democrats that Biden will be on the ballot regardless of state legislative actions. Reports that the timing of the Democratic convention may have prevented Biden from getting on the Ohio ballot first surfaced in April.

Failed Libertarian Party presidential candidate Dr. Michael Rectenwald admitted he consumed an edible before delivering a speech attacking Donald Trump. Following Trump’s appeal to convention attendees to back him and defeat Joe Biden and the radical left together, Rectenwald joined fellow candidates on stage and claimed the America First leader perpetrated “egregious offenses against our freedom.”
“How high are you?” heckled a member of the audience, with many convention attendees having been won over by Trump’s pledge to commute the sentence of Silk Road founder Ross Ulbricht if reelected.
“Not high enough! Hey, I’m living liberty today!” Rectenwald replied, later confirming to the press he had taken a cannabis edible before his speech.
“This was not some sort of a major political scandal, okay. I wasn’t found in bed with Stormy Daniels,” he joked, lamely.
Reporters noted Rectenwald performed poorly on stage alongside rival candidates Mike Ter Maat and Chase Oliver.
Oliver, a former Democrat who supports Drag Queen Story Hour, gender transitions for children, and open borders, ultimately won the nomination.
Trump told convention attendees they should nominate or at least vote for him, saying it was “time to be winners.”
“Maybe you don’t want to win,” he told some attendees who howled at his proposal. “If you want to lose… keep getting your three percent every four years,” he added.

Donald Trump reached out to the Libertarian Party conference at the weekend, urging them to lend him their votes to stop Joe Biden, Marxism, and communism, saying: “It’s time to be winners.” The former president won over many at the conference with a pledge to commute the sentence of Silk Road founder Ross Ulbricht. After the conference, the party leadership may have driven more Libertarian voters into Trump’s arms by selecting former Barack Obama and John Kerry supporter Chase Oliver as their nominee instead.
A review of Oliver’s social media history shows he holds several extreme left-wing views.
IMMIGRATION.
Oliver supports fully open borders or “free immigration.”
“Economic freedom demands the unrestricted movement of human as well as financial capital across national borders,” he declared in 2021, reiterating in 2023 that “If you support free markets, you should support freeimmigration.”
Economic freedom demands the unrestricted movement of human as well as financial capital across national borders.
Despite Libertarians’ traditional stance against big central government, Oliver supports the federal government imposing abortion “until the point of viability” in all 50 states.
“Viability” is a slippery standard, generally set at 24 to 26 or occasionally 28 weeks, although premature babies have survived as early as 21 weeks and a day.
DRAG QUEEN STORYTIME.
As an LGBTQ activist, Oliver has posted frequently about attending Pride and drag events. “I actually went to a ‘drag queen storytime’ event in Rome GA, [Marjorie Taylor Greene’s] district in NW Georgia,” he posted in 2022. “You know what I saw? Nothing controversial[.] A person in a big brightly colored costume reading a book about how people are special and unique and that’s a good thing,” he suggested.
“I went to a Pride event featuring a Drag Queen Storytime [a]nd there was no ‘grooming’ or sexualization. Just happy kids hearing a story about rainbows,” he claimed in another post.
He has also compared drag queens to Barney the Dinosaur and the Sesame Street Muppets, arguing they are “basically no different.”
TRANSITIONING KIDS.
Oliver does not believe children should be protected from social or medical gender transitions, saying he opposes taking “decisions away from parents, doctors, and patients.”
He has regularly claimed minors are never or at least seldom subject to transgender mutilation surgeries, which he terms “gender-affirming care,” but he is not opposed to them, saying: “At the end of the day, keep the state out.”
Oliver identifies as a “cisgender” gay man and Christian, claiming God “designed” him to be homosexual.
I trust the parents of trans/non binary people and their doctors more than I trust the state and it's bureaucracy.
Listen to actual parents and kids and doctors, not those who seek to use the power of the state to have their will be done.
Oliver is against “banning trans girls” — i.e., biological males — from competing against girls in school sports, calling this “big government.”
“It’s a shame and will harm the small number of trans athletes,” he complains.
Oliver has also claimed a “gender non-binary” child was “beaten to death in the girl’s bathroom” during an argument on X (formerly Twitter), telling his interlocutor, “maybe get your facts straight before commenting” on the case.
He was referring to Nex Benedict, who was not killed in the restroom fight nor from injuries resulting from it.
VAX MANDATES.
Despite being “vaccinated and boosted,” Oliver says state vaccine mandates are “wrong.” He supports corporate vaccine mandates, however, arguing bosses should have the right to fire unvaccinated workers and deny service to unvaccinated customers.
He has also advocated for at least some state support for corporate vaccine mandates, arguing governors should not be “giving unemployment benefits to people who decided to quit rather than abide by private businesses… requesting workers be vaccinated or tested regularly.”
CHINA FIRST.
Like many Libertarian ideologues, Oliver opposes protecting American workers from unfair competition with sweatshop economies, including explicitly anti-Libertarian states such as Communist China.
“[A] a tariff is a tax on all consumers and raises prices that we all pay,” he insisted in one pro-China rant, branding Trump — a billionaire business tycoon — a “failed businessman” and “economically illiterate.”
He believes all tariffs on imports should be removed, even from countries that impose their own tariffs against America.
WAR CRIMINAL TRUMP?
At the Libertarian convention, a highly agitated Oliver told National Pulse reporter Will Upton that Trump is a “war criminal” who engages in “authoritarian rhetoric.”
In fact, Trump is the first U.S. President since the 1970s not to lead the country into any new wars. He has also argued consistently for de-escalation and a peace deal to end the Ukraine war, while Oliver has argued for allowing American citizens to travel to Ukraine to join the conflict “unfettered” while permitting unlimited Ukrainian, Iranian, Yemeni, and even Russian asylum immigration to the U.S.

Democrat strategists are having a “full-blown freakout” in the words of the globalist-left-leaning paper POLITICO, which claimed on Tuesday morning that strategists are now openly panicking about Joe Biden’s re-election hopes.
“This isn’t, ‘Oh my God, Mitt Romney might become president.’ It’s ‘Oh my God, the democracy might end,’” one source hyperventilated to POLITICO’s Playbook newsletter authors.
“There’s still a path to win this, but they don’t look like a campaign that’s embarking on that path right now,” said Democratic strategist Pete Giangreco.
“If the frame of this race is, ‘What was better, the 3.5 years under Biden or four years under Trump,’ we lose that every day of the week and twice on Sunday,” he added.
POLITICO says it has interviewed over a dozen party leaders and strategists, revealing that “concern has metastasized in recent days as Trump jaunted to some of the country’s most liberal territories, including New Jersey and New York, to woo Hispanic and Black voters as he boasted, improbably, that he would win in those areas.”
