In a recent interview, HBO host Bill Maher expressed his determination to prevent former President Trump from being re-elected in 2024. Maher stated that he would do 'everything he can' to ensure Trump's defeat, emphasizing his commitment to this goal.
When asked about his feelings regarding the upcoming presidential election, Maher acknowledged that he is trying not to hyper-fixate on it and will accept the outcome. However, he made it clear that he will actively work towards preventing Trump's return to office.
Reflecting on the current political climate in the United States, Maher highlighted the deep polarization within the country. He likened the situation to a prison yard, where individuals align themselves with one team or the other, making compromise seem like a distant possibility.
Known for his outspoken criticism of Trump, Maher has been a prominent anti-Trump voice since before the 2016 election. While he has also been critical of certain aspects of the Democratic Party, such as radical leftism and censorship, Maher clarified that he has no intention of aligning with the right.
In a light-hearted remark, Maher joked that if Trump were to defeat President Biden, he might face extreme consequences like 'blowing up the world or being sent to Guantanamo Bay.' The interview also touched on Maher's new media venture, a podcast network inspired by his popular 'Club Random' podcast.
Describing the unique style of his podcast, Maher emphasized the differences that set it apart from other podcasts, aiming to replicate the engaging format that has garnered a loyal following.
