Bill Maher predicted that former President Donald Trump will be at the presidential inauguration in January 2025 — whether he wins in 2024 or not.
The comedian and pundit made the prediction while speaking in an interview with Chris Cuomo on the debut episode of the latter’s NewsNation show, CUOMO, recorded on Friday.

Maher was asked what the biggest problem facing the country is, to which he answered the environment and democracy. When pressed by Cuomo which problem was more immediate, Maher said democracy.
“The more immediate one is democracy. That’s not, you know, five years, 10 years; that’s a few years away because trust me, in January of 2025, Donald Trump is going to show up for the inauguration whether he wins or not,” Maher said
When pressed on if he thinks the former president will run again in 2024, Maher doubled down.
“Of course he’s going to run again. Are you kidding? He thinks about nothing but. It’s everything he loves. It’s — it’s a fight, it’s revenge. He hasn’t given up on the — he hasn’t conceded the last election. Of course he’s going to run again. And if he does, it’d be very hard to deny him the nomination. I mean, his fans are rabid. Now, much less of the Republican Party wants him as the standard-bearer than last time, but good luck trying to take it away from him,” Maher said.

Before the 2020 election, Maher correctly predicted that Trump would refuse to concede the election if he lost. Maher took his prediction a step further and said Trump would refuse to leave the office, but Trump did end up leaving the White House before noon on Inauguration Day last year.
Maher in his prediction also said “anything is possible” on the matter of Trump’s odds of winning in 2024 if he advances past the GOP primary. Trump has heavily teased another run for the White House but has not yet declared a campaign.
