LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Comedian Bill Maher poked fun at Taylor Swift and her 'Swifties', as he attacked Biden's declining popularity among black voters.
During the Friday night episode of 'Real Time with Bill Maher', the commentator cracked several quips about the poll that was released the previous week, revealing that former President Donald Trump has been leading in five of the six crucial swing states.
“But there was, it was a good news, bad news week for the Democrats, bad news in the six battleground states,” the 67-year-old Maher said.
“Trump is beating Biden in five out of six of them. And Biden's support among non-White voters dropped 33 points. And Democrats cannot win with just White people. Okay. Although it hasn't hurt Taylor Swift,” he quipped.
A Morning Consult poll indicates that most Taylor Swift fans are suburban white women who lean Democratic.
The poll revealed that 74% of those who self-identify as ardent Swift supporters are white, with 55% also identifying as Democrats, with the majority residing in suburban regions.
Bill Maher jokes about ‘kryptonite' issues of America
Maher also said, "America loves abortion," alluding to one of the nation's "kryptonite" issues. “The good news for the Democrats, is they do have kind of a kryptonite issue, abortion. America loves abortion. And even in the red states, seven out of this time, seven times it's on the ballot. People are saying, no, read my lips, no new babies,” the comedian said.
“Abortion wins in counties Biden lost by 20 points. If he was smart, he would run as 'Abortin' Joe. I know things are tough, but 'Abortin' Joe feels your pain! Give a hug to 'Abortin' Joe,” he added.
Maher continued by claiming that most Americans are “basically pro-choice.” “But this is the cognitive dissonance in America. Okay, so on the one side, the people are like, No, this is where we are socially. We are we are basically pro-choice,” he said.
“And then the new speaker of the House for the Republicans, Mike Johnson, turns out this came out this week. He has an app. You can buy it on your phone called Covenant Eyes," he said.

“Tragic that he thinks it's an insult to Taylor Swift! It absolutely represents the statistics by race in America,” one user tweeted.
“This is a nonsensical statement. Bill’s mad because the Dems are proud of its diversity? Go straight to hell Bill Maher. 👊🏼 “ another user said.
