Bill Maher predicts the EXACT date Biden will step down for historic reason... before making hilarious comparison

Bill Maher predicted the exact date that he believes Joe Biden will step aside in the presidential race as he issued an optimistic look at who could replace him. 

The comedian, 68, rattled through possible replacements including Gavin Newsom, Kamala Harris and Gretchen Whitmer, as he insisted that 'Biden is toast.' 

He speculated that 'when' the 81-year-old bows out, he will pick August 9 as the date - the same day that Richard Nixon became the only president to resign in 1974. 

Maher scathed Biden for holding Democrats back ahead of the election as he listed a number of alternates who he felt could win in November, mainly because they 'are moderates, are under 100-years-old, and have a D next to their name.' 

The talk show host was joined by former congressman Bakari Sellers and conservative commentator Ben Shapiro, as he joked that Biden will be doomed by a 'mean girls' mindset from the American media. 

'When they smell blood in the water, the lust to finish off a vulnerable person, they'll never be denied,' Maher said. 

He argued that for Biden, the 'issue isn't if, but who' will replace him, as he satirically predicted that the president would want to step down on the same day as Nixon. 

'Yes replacing a president as his party's candidate this late will seem like a big deal - for about three days,' he continued. 'And then we'll all be over it.' 

The comedian jokingly compared the move to when an office coworker 'gets her t*ts done', saying that while 'at first, it's oh my god - a week later, they're just her t*ts.' 

'America is going to do this, we're going to get new t*ts,' he concluded. 

Maher then listed several possible replacements for Biden if he chose to step aside, offering an optimistic outlook for a number of them that he believed could defeat Donald Trump in November. 

Maher began his list of pros and cons with Harris, who he noted would mark a number of firsts if she made it to the White House, including first female, first black woman, and first Asian to become president. 

'(She) will get all of Biden's campaign money, and on the issue of abortion she's a walking reminder to women that Republican's are coming for the abortion pill,' he said. 

'She won't just protect Plan B, she is Plan B.' 

He also cited her history as a prosecutor in California, remarking that 'Kamala was putting criminals in jail before liberals decided that was a bad thing.' 

However, Maher noted that for 'whatever reason, Harris has never been popular', as he cited her poor performance in the 2020 presidential election primaries as evidence. 

'You can count the number of delegates she won... on one hand, as long as that hand has no fingers.'  

Maher then moved onto two other contenders who could leapfrog Harris at the top of the ticket, namely California Governor Gavin Newsom and Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer. 

For Newsom, Maher pointed to his perceived good looks as he said he was 'the only governor, with the possible exception of Kristi Noem, who looks like they could do porn.'

'And at 6'3 and 215lbs, he's actually the height and weight that Trump claims to be.' 

Maher said Newsom's biggest drawback appears to be that he is 'too slick', but felt this was not such a negative trait, because 'slick is something no one has been accusing Biden of lately.' 

The comedian also put a positive spin on Whitmer's hypothetical candidacy, saying she is a 'very attractive choice.' 

He pointed out that she is a popular governor in the must-win state of Michigan, and has a number of policy achievements to fall back on including raising wages, protecting abortion rights and legalizing marijuana. 

If not those leading three contenders, Maher argued that the Democratic Party is quietly filled with a number of viable candidates - if only Biden would step out of the way.  

Among the candidates hiding in the Democratic Party's ranks that Maher felt could step up included Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, Maryland Governor Wes Moore, Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear, and Pennsylvania’s Josh Shapiro. 

'No one knows who these people are, and that’s good,' he continued. 

'We need some new characters on this sitcom we call a country. Americans like new. These guys, all you need to know is they’re moderates, they’re under 100 years old, and they have a “D” next to their names.' 

Maher concluded that with the looming possibility of a second Trump term in November, America is currently 'at the airport, and we just need to be sure we get last rental car.'

'Something reasonably safe, relatively clean and not Trump. If there isn’t a dead Girl Scout in the trunk, we’re good to go,' he concluded.
