Talk show host Bill Maher suggested Democratic candidates quit “pandering” to minorities as a campaign tactic.

Maher brought up the topic on his Friday show Real Time with Bill Maher, where he introduces “new rules” for his audience to follow. The most recent rule was “to stop talking about the things that make Americans different from each other and start honoring the things that make us the same.”

“So let my people, the Irish, lead the way because again the Irish think, ‘I don’t give a s***.’ But I do give a s*** about who wins the next election. And outdated racial pandering is one reason Democrats lose elections,” Maher said. “It’s not working for them or for us. Democrats are hemorrhaging the very voters they think they’re pandering to.”

According to a poll from the American Principles Project, Joe Biden and Donald Trump are nearly deadlocked among Latino voters in Arizona and Nevada. Another USA Today poll reports that 63% of black voters support Biden, when his party has more recently enjoyed a much larger majority.

In 2020, black voters made up 13.5% of all eligible voters. According to the Pew Research Center, they are expected to make up 14% in 2024. However, as Maher pointed out, an increasing number of people are identifying at multiracial.

“Far-left liberals are living in an old paradigm. Americans don’t fit into neat little boxes anymore,” Maher said. “In America now, you’re allowed to be many things all at once, and that’s a good thing, even when it’s really stupid.”

While Maher criticized the Democratic Party’s tactics, he has also long been an opponent of Trump, mocking him throughout the segment. At one point, while acknowledging there is a group of gay voters who are for Trump, Maher referred to the former president as a drag queen.
