Los Angeles, May 31, 2024 — Bill Maher, the host of
HBO's Real Time with Bill Maher, has issued a dire warning about the 2024
presidential election, predicting a potential coup attempt by former President
Donald Trump. Maher detailed his concerns during a recent episode, suggesting
that Trump is laying the groundwork to claim victory regardless of the actual
vote count (TheWrap)​.
Maher described the scenario as a "slow-moving
coup," asserting that Trump has been systematically purging the Republican
Party of members who oppose him and supporting restrictive voting laws designed
to disenfranchise young and minority voters. According to Maher, this strategy
aims to ensure Trump’s path back to the White House by undermining the
democratic process.
"He’s like a shark that’s not gone, just gone out
to sea," Maher remarked, using a vivid metaphor to describe Trump's
persistence and strategic planning. Maher expressed fears that the combination
of Trump's refusal to concede, the GOP's restrictive voting measures, and a
potential shift in political power in key swing states could lead to
unprecedented electoral chaos​​.
Maher’s warning extended beyond election mechanics to
potential civil unrest. He speculated that the divisive rhetoric and possible
actions by Trump’s supporters could culminate in violence, akin to the January
6 Capitol riot. He painted a picture of half a million armed Trump voters
storming the Capitol if the election results did not favor their candidate.
