“Real Time” host Bill Maher revealed that his “dream ticket” for 2024 is for President Biden to run alongside former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley.
Haley suspended her presidential campaign this week after disappointing Super Tuesday turnout and refrained from expressing support for former President Donald Trump, the only Republican advancing toward the nomination. .
During Friday’s panel discussion, Maher argued that Haley has no future in the Republican Party “as long as President Trump is in power” and offered her an alternative political path.
“I know it’s crazy to think she could run with Biden, but that’s my dream and my ticket to unity,” Maher said. “Then I think he will definitely win.”
“And, of course, she said something outrageous. Most politicians aren’t crazy enough to say, ‘We’re not a racist country.’ I mean, it’s pretty crazy,” Maher added.
Pac correspondent Tara Palmeri argued that replacing Vice President Kamala Harris with Haley would “literally destroy” the Democratic base.
“But she’s a woman of color,” Maher emphasized.
“Yeah, but black women are kind of the core of the Democratic Party,” Palmeri responded.
The HBO host then brought up outgoing Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) as Biden’s secretary of state.
“Something has to pass so that we don’t live in a world where everyone sees the other as an existential threat,” Maher said.
Maher has begun considering the idea of removing Harris from the Democratic nomination in October 2022.
“It’s clear that we’re going to replace the vice president,” Maher said at the time, prompting applause from the liberal audience. “Because she’s not very popular everywhere. And that didn’t seem to work. And, I don’t know, the same thing has been done with tickets before.”
Meanwhile, Haley has previously ruled out running as a third-party candidate, and after then-Democratic candidate Dean Phillips, who also suspended his presidential campaign this week, proposed a unified candidate. had withdrawn the idea.
Despite signing the RNC pledge to support the final nominee in order to participate in the primary debates, Haley has yet to announce her support for Trump and will first seek support from voters. It suggests that you need to get it.
“It’s now up to Donald Trump to win the votes not only within our party, but also those outside the party who didn’t support him. And I hope he does,” Haley said. said Wednesday. “The best thing about politics is bringing people to your cause, not pushing them away. And our conservative cause needs more people. Now he It’s time to choose.”
