    Bill Maher says lack of support from black men is a bad sign for Kamala Harris

    HBO host Bill Maher suggested that Vice President Kamala Harris’ prospects for winning the 2024 presidential election aren’t looking too good less than a month out from Nov. 5

    During Friday’s episode of “Real Time with Bill Maher,” the comedian commented on the state of the race, declaring that the fact that the Democratic Party is having to prod black men into supporting Harris is a bad sign.

    “And I gotta say it’s not looking that great for the Democrats,” he said at the start of his show Friday night.

    He continued, “This is not a good sign, you know – when you have an African American candidate, you probably shouldn’t be having to shore up your support among black men, but that’s what’s going on.”


    Harris’ challenges with appealing to black male voters were especially pronounced this week when former President Barack Obama ripped into black men during a campaign stop in Pittsburgh for not being as enthusiastic about Harris’ presidential bid as they were for his 2008 and 2012 political campaigns.

    “We have not yet seen the same kinds of energy and turnout in all corners of our neighborhoods and communities as we saw when I was running,” he said, elsewhere adding, “I’m speaking to men directly — part of it makes me think that, well, you just aren’t feeling the idea of having a woman as president, and you’re coming up with other alternatives and other reasons for that.”

    On his program, Maher mocked the fact that the campaign is going to deploy Harris’ running mate, Gov. Tim Walz, D-Minn., to speak to black male voters directly.

    “Tim Walz is headlining a voter engagement event tonight with black men. Who better to connect with young black men than Tim Walz?” he asked.

    “Because apparently Michael Bublé was unavailable,” he quipped to raucous laughter.

    He added another punchline: “Meanwhile, Kim Kardashian’s like, ‘Hello?’”

    Maher then brought up Obama’s recent comments, saying, “Obama even came out yesterday to scold. You know, he was scolding. Well, I don’t know – last month at the convention, he was, ‘No scolding!’ Now he’s scolding. He was saying, ‘You gotta vote for Harris.’”

    He concluded the point with one last joke, stating, “But of course for some young – especially the younger black men – it’s tough choice. Harris is African American but Trump has a sneaker line.”

    Later during the episode, Maher spoke to his guest panel, including conservative commentator Buck Sexton and CNN host Laura Coates, about the Harris campaign’s problems more generally.

    Reading from recent report on Harris’ polling, he said, “At this point in 2020, Biden – with far fewer resources than Harris has – was ten points ahead of Trump, and in 2016, Hillary was six up. And she is only 2.6 up. Pennsylvania – Biden was up seven at this point. She’s up one. Michigan – Biden was up eight and she’s tied.”

    Fox News Digital’s Joshua Nelson contributed to this report.

    "The drop is especially steep in the swing states of Georgia and North Carolina, with declines of 84% and 75% respectively."

    In North Carolina and Georgia the GOP put rules in place that make mail-in voting much more difficult. There should be no surprise the request for mail-in ballots dropped significantly. Considering the state GOP party officials in N.C. pushed talking points that mail-in voting is the equivalent of criminal activity -- I expect a good portion of the drop may be GOP voters. This will be especially impactful in our elections now that Helene has torn up primarily red counties in both GA and NC -- and these voters now only have the option of in-person voting where the voting station has likely moved.

  8. Ohh boyy. Y'all ain't gonna blieve this sh!@t.

    Jim Clyburn on CNN right as we speak with Dana Bash who is asking him if sexism is a factor in Kamala's problem.

    In a mindboggling response, Clyburn says that voters need to just stop and think about how women have been great leaders by thinking about women such as Margaret Thatcher and Angela Merkel. Not only is Kamala not even on the same planet with those two, Dumphuk Clyburn goes to conservative women for examples?????????

    Man, that was a lame response. CNN did not challenge it though so all is good over at the DNC. Dana Bash could have said, "if you are going to go there how bout' Liz Truss who lasted two weeks?" Okay, little joke there. OR NOT.

    Jim Clyburn defending Kamala Harris by putting her in the same league with Margaret Thatcher the Iron Lady???
