Bill Maher suggests Biden could be removed from Democrat ticket

Bill Maher is definitely left leaning, but he's one of the few media figures in America who seems willing to put common sense ahead of personal gain for the federal members of his party.

For better or worse, Maher calls it like he sees it. He's often controversial, and he is not always right, but the honesty from a member of the liberal establishment sure is refreshing compared to what we see most of the time.

One drum that Maher has been beating recently is the fact that Joe Biden's electability has tanked in the run-up to the 2024 election.

It's gotten so bad that Maher thinks Joe Biden could potentially be replaced if he "really shits the bed" during the debate on June 27.

Former Obama advisor David Axelrod did not agree with Maher's assessment.

"Listen, that is a fantasy that I hear a lot," Axelrod responded. "I like Joe Biden and I worked with him and I was grateful to work with him and I think he's done a lot of very, very fine things as president for which history will be kind him. That's not the question. The question is whether at this age you should have run, but he did run. And right now he is the nominee of the Democratic Party."

"This is not 1968 where the convention is gonna decide. We changed the rules. Voters nominate a candidate. They've nominated Joe Biden, and he's not going anywhere," Axelrod continued. "There's no generation of elders who are gonna go to the White House and tell him that he can't run. He is going to run and one of the reasons they want an early debate I'm sure is to focus people on this is the choice! It's Trump and Biden."

"I mean, you can take the easy way out and say, 'Well, I'm not gonna vote for either of them,' but one of those guys is gonna be President of the United States and people oughta focus on that and give up on the sort of fantasy that there's gonna be another candidate," Axelrod concluded.
