Bill Maher Is Grateful Kamala Harris Is “Boring” After Trump Complains: “It’s Harris/Walz, Not Deadpool/Wolverine”
Although the 2024 Presidential Election has plenty of entertainment value, Bill Maher prefers the MCU over a political circus.
On Friday’s episode of Real Time with Bill Maher, the comedian praised Vice President Kamala Harris for keeping it “boring” following the Democratic nominee’s first campaign interview on CNN with running mate Tim Walz.

“Donald Trump, of course, had to s—tweet while he was watching it,” said Maher in his opening monologue. “He tweeted, ‘Boring!’ Good… I love some boring. That’s what I want in this ticket. It’s Harris/Walz, not Deadpool/Wolverine.”
Speaking with CNN’s Dana Bash at Kim Café in Savannah, Georgia, Harris explained that the “most important and most significant aspect of my policy perspective and decisions is my values have not changed” since she last ran for president in 2019.
Although Trump wasn’t impressed, Harris and Walz’s interview managed to bring in 6.3 million viewers, marking CNN’s best performance since Trump’s debate with former opponent President Joe Biden in June, which saw 9.7 million in the same hour.
Harris and Trump are scheduled to debate Sept. 10 on ABC, followed by a CBS News vice presidential debate between Walz and J.D. Vance on Oct. 1.
Meanwhile, Deadpool & Wolverine has dominated the summer box office and smashed multiple records, having surpassed $1 billion to become the biggest R-rated movie ever.
