Political commentator Bill Maher criticized Joe Biden on his show “Real Time,” stating that Biden agreed to debate Trump because he knows he’s losing. This is a valid point, as recent polls show Biden behind in key battleground states. It’s clear that Biden is in trouble and is trying to do whatever he can to gain ground.
The idea of switching out Biden was even brought up, highlighting the lack of confidence some have in his ability to win the election. It’s concerning that Democrats may be considering such a move, especially with Kamala Harris as the potential replacement. Gavin Newsom, another suggested replacement, has faced criticism for his handling of California’s issues.

The early timing of the debates was also questioned, with Maher noting that summer debates are unusual for presidential elections. With concerns about Biden’s performance and potential assistance during the debates, it’s evident that there are doubts about his ability to come out on top.
In the end, the debates may not change the fact that Biden is facing significant challenges and skepticism about his candidacy. Despite low expectations, simply showing up may not be enough to overcome the broader issues surrounding his campaign.
