The comedian said on Friday that the former president „knows he’s losing and he’s losing to a woman.“
Comedian Bill Maher said on Friday that former President Donald Trump is „definitely going to lose“ amid this year’s presidential election.
With less than six weeks until the election in which Trump, the GOP presidential nominee, is set to face off against Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic nominee, the race is tightening.
In an Overtime segment on Maher’s HBO show Real Time with Bill Maher, during a panel that featured writer Fran Lebowitz, Israeli historian Yuval Noah Harari, and political consultant Ian Bremmer, Maher said he was not worried about Trump winning the presidency because he’s „definitely going to lose.“
„It seems like the amount of time, the gap between when we repeat the mistake gets shorter and shorter. I mean Trump was only president four years ago and we’ve seemed to completely have amnesia about what that was like“, Maher said.
Bremmer interjected, „We still don’t know if we are going to repeat that mistake.“
However, Maher dismissed the argument and said, „We’re not. I’ve already put my marker down on that.I’m not even worried about it.“
„You’re not even worried about it?“ Lebowitz asked.
Maher remained firm on his stance and said, „No, not at all. Yeah, no, no, no, he’s definitely going to lose. You just feel it“, adding that while he previously predicted this, the polls will remain close even on Election Day.
Newsweek has reached out to Trump’s and Harris‘ campaign via email for comment.
Maher, a critic of Trump’s, also said on Friday that the former president „knows he’s losing and he’s losing to a woman“ as he spoke about Trump’s previous remarks on Truth Social in which he said women will be „happy and great again“ if he wins in November.
