Bill Maher Makes “MOMENTOUS” Election Prediction: “I Think It’s Over…”

Bill Maher has come out with his prediction for the November elections.  He’s never been a “Trump supporter”, though we have definitely heard him point out the left’s hypocrisy on multiple occasions surrounding President Trump and his treatment in the media.  So what’s the verdict, according to Bill Maher?  Watch for yourself:

Wow. Bill Maher is dropping predictions tonight, and he says “it’s over” for Donald Trump.

Really?

Maher’s remarks come in response to Trump’s comments about migrants “eating” pets in Springfield, Ohio.

Let me point out first what he says near the end of that video, as reported by Fox News:

“It will be tight on Election Day, as always it will. The polls will be tight, and then he’ll lose. That’s my prediction. We’ll see,” Maher doubled down.

So up front, let’s be clear — he’s not so confident in his prediction to forecast a landslide or runaway election loss.  Bill Maher still expects things to be “right on Election Day, as always”.  Here’s more from that Fox News story:

“Real Time” host Bill Maher made a bold prediction about who will win the 2024 election following the first presidential debate between former President Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris.

“I’m gonna make this a very momentous night with a prediction,” Maher began his panel discussion Friday night. “Because I have the credibility for this prediction, because I had been called a ‘Trump alarmist’ for a very long time. They were wrong, I was right- he wasn’t gonna leave power. But ever since then and since the [Access Hollywood] tape… and he survived that. Every time he’s done crazy s— and gotten himself in trouble, I said ‘No, no. It’s not over.'”

“Tonight I’m saying- I think it’s over,” Maher said, sparking cheers from his liberal audience.

I honestly have to admit, at that point in his prediction I really wasn’t sure which way he would go.  He’s pointed out the inconsistencies with Kamala’s policies, her lack of clearly stated policy positions, and even the failed policies of the Biden-Harris administration.  So honestly, I wasn’t sure on which side of the fence he would land!  Here’s more of the conversation, with GOP pollster Kristen Soltis Anderson chiming in:

GOP pollster Kristen Soltis Anderson responded by telling Maher, “I do not share your confidence.”

“I know people don’t think that the polls are very accurate. So setting all of that aside, the reality is that people have known Donald Trump and known who he is for a very long time,” Soltis Anderson said. “And when you ask people, ‘Do you need to know more about these candidates?’ With Kamala Harris, they say yes, like three in ten people say ‘I feel like I need to know more in order to make a decision.’ But when you ask that about Donald Trump, only a fraction of voters say that they do. And so people know who he is, and yet he’s still competitive. You look at these battleground states, they’re still 50-50. He’s hanging in there.”

“It will be tight on Election Day, as always it will. The polls will be tight, and then he’ll lose. That’s my prediction. We’ll see,” Maher doubled down.

Soltis Anderson went on to call Harris a “blank slate” to most voters and suggested progressives are allowing her to get away with sounding like an “RNC 2004 keynote speaker,” pointing to her debate comments about owning a gun and touting the endorsement of former Vice President Dick Cheney.

Obviously, Maher defended his position and prediction to the bitter end of the conversation.  This reminds me how close we are getting to the end of this campaign, and yet how much time remains for all sorts of crazy antics (including those from debate moderators?).

And I wonder if he’s really paying attention to things like this?

Or… this?

CNN: Kamala Harris is the worst polling Democrat against Donald Trump in history on national polls.

Polls are currently showing that Kamala Harris is hemorrhaging votes from historic democratic voter blocks.  But you know what I think?

I think Bill Maher is worried that President Trump will be able to fulfill his goals in a second term, and prove that almost every social and economic agenda people like Bill Maher have been able to espouse without a true challenge… is as pitiful as the look on Van Jones face when he hears the stats in that last clip.

And I can’t wait to see how Bill Maher spins it when his “momentous” prediction turns out to be not that momentous, after all.
