“To me it says Biden is aware of he’s shedding as a result of in any other case he wouldn’t have agreed,” Maher stated as he kicked off his panel dialogue Friday night time. “Solely the loser needs to debate.”
Maher marveled on the concept of a summer time debate with the primary one slated for June 27, declaring “They haven’t had the conference but!”
“Nicely, they’re not getting any youthful,” The Free Press reporter Nellie Bowles quipped.

Paul responded by saying Biden has “already proven that he can rise up and provides a rousing speak when want be,” possible referring to his State of the Union deal with earlier this yr. Bowles joked that there would possibly have to be “drug testing” earlier than the debates.
“I really feel like we now have turned a nook although,” Maher later stated. “Like after the final election, it was ‘Trump is completed.’ After which a yr later was ‘Nicely, he’s not going away.’ After which it was ‘Uh oh, he may win once more.’ And now it looks like the consensus is nearly Biden can’t win. And he’s shedding in all of the swing states I believe besides Wisconsin and by larger and greater numbers.”
“Is it too late to modify out?” he then requested. “As a result of in these swing states the place Biden is shedding, it’s fascinating. The Democratic Senate candidate will not be shedding. So it simply says one thing, which is it’s not the social gathering essentially considerably, but it surely’s the man. They only don’t see him because the man it doesn’t matter what he does. He has loads of victories. It doesn’t appear to ever transfer the needle, however the Democrats must get off their keister now. Now!”
Paul responded by alluding to the opportunity of the 81-year-old president’s passing, which Maher rapidly clarified they had been “not rooting for that.”
