HBO host Bill Maher reiterated his prediction that Vice President Kamala Harris will win the 2024 election, while warning Democrats on his podcast that “Trumpism” will continue regardless of who wins the election.
“I thought she was great [during the debate] and I couldn’t be more thrilled, and I would bet that Kamala is going to win the election,” he said on his “Club Random” podcast Sunday.
“I also understand that [former President] “I think Trump will disappear after this. I think he’s finally reached his Joe McCarthy stage where people are fed up… but Trumpism is not going to go away,” Maher predicts.
The liberal host, who frequently castigates the “woke” left, argued that the left’s “madness” on issues of gender, race and free speech had alienated average Americans.

He argued that “Trumpism” would persist as long as Democrats failed to condemn such extreme views.
“I would define ‘Trumpism’ as a fear of the lunacy of the far left – which is not entirely unwarranted – and therefore, anyone is better than that. Trump proves that because he is that ‘anyone.’ If Trump is OK, if he, in all his monstrosity, is still better than what you fear with the left, then that is a problem that the left has to confront,” Maher said.
“Until you fix this, they’ll always find a Trump,” he continued.
“They believe that the other side poses such an existential threat, and again, the other side gives them so much ammunition to believe that, that they think it’s all justifiable,” he said of Republicans who support Trump.

The “Real Time” host first said Trump would lose the election after the presidential debate.
“Tonight I say I think it’s over,” Maher said, drawing cheers from his liberal audience.

“Before we even existed, there was a guy named Joe McCarthy in the early ’50s, and he had a grip on America… For two or three years, he was the biggest figure, and then it was just, and I feel like ‘dog eat dog,’ that’s where we’re at.”
