Liberal comedian Bill Maher said during his show this week that he believes President Joe Biden is too old to win re-election, even though he believes that he can do the job.
Maher made the remarks during HBO’s “Real Time” while speaking to former Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Donna Brazile about the upcoming presidential election.
Maher noted that Democratic strategist David Axelrod recently said that Biden should consider getting out the race because he might lose to whoever the Republican nominee is.
“What do you think of prominent Democrats like David Axelrod calling for Biden to, quote, ‘get out or get going’?” Maher asked. “Get out or get going?”
“Look, people think that Joe Biden is perhaps too old,” Brazile responded. “They’re right. Don’t spill the water or something might come out of it. You know, everyone ages differently. You know, so, Betty White lived to be 99. Mick Jagger is still twisting his a**.”
Maher said that he has made the case against ageism for years before noting that it is, however, something that needs to be taken on a “case by case basis.”
“But for that argument to have teeth at all, you also have to be the person who can go, ‘Yeah, but this is the case,'” he said. “And I’ve said it before. Do I think Joe Biden can do the job? Absolutely. I don’t think he can win the job. And that’s what I care about. He’s going to lose. Because the people think he’s too old. And perception is reality. I’m sorry.”
