As the host of “Real Time with Bill Maher” on HBO, host Bill Maher openly mocked the political skills of Vice President Kamala Harris during an episode of his show late last week as he spoke about what would happen to Democrats in the event of the soon to turn 80 President Joe Biden(D) possibly dying while in office.
“I’ll give you another reason why, a good reason why, Biden shouldn’t run: the Kamala problem,” stated Maher. “Now, I like Kamala Harris, but for whatever reason, it just didn’t work out, okay? I think she would make a great president of the University of Santa Barbara here in California. But if Joe doesn’t run, then we don’t have to worry about her running, because it’s hard to get rid of your running mate that you ran with last time. But if you don’t run, then that kind of goes out with you.”
In the wake of a quick exchange with a member of the guest panel, Maher stated, “Let me put it another way. Couldn’t Biden wind up doing a kind of Ruth Bader Ginsburg thing where he stays on a little too long and takes down the whole thing with him?”
“That’s what I worry about,” he stated.
After Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) tried to state that Biden was actually in “good health,” Maher answered, “Oh come on. He keeps saying his son was killed in Iraq and he wasn’t.”

TRANSCRIPT:
BILL MAHER, HBO HOST: And if it’s Trump against Biden, the electorate will be so turned off. And also, I’ll give you another reason why, a good reason why, Biden shouldn’t run: the Kamala problem. Now, I like Kamala Harris, but for whatever reason, it just didn’t work out, okay? I think she would make a great president of the University of Santa Barbara here in California. But if Joe doesn’t run, then we don’t have to worry about her running, because it’s hard to get rid of your running mate that you ran with last time. But if you don’t run, then that kind of goes out with you.
ROBERTA COSTA, REPORTER: I sat down with her ahead of the election and she said this whole election is going to be about democracy and abortion rights. And people looked at those comments and said, ‘what she talking about it?’ She called it.
MAHER: Lots of people said that.
COSTA: A lot of people said the economy was going to be everything.
MAHER: Well, yes. Like I said, people thought differently when they got in the booth. Okay. So great, but okay. Let me, let me put it another way. Couldn’t Biden wind up doing a kind of Ruth Bader Ginsburg thing where he stays on a little too long and takes down the whole thing with him. That’s what I worry about.
REP. RO KHANNA (D-CA): He’s in good health.
MAHER: He’s in good health now.
KHANNA: And he’s, you know, he’s someone. Let me, let me say this, people say he’s—
MAHER: He’s a little befuddled sometimes.
KHANNA: No!
MAHER: Oh come on. He keeps saying his son was killed in Iraq and he wasn’t.
