Among the estimated millions of Americans worried about the upcoming presidential election results, Bill Maher said he is not one of them.
Maher admitted on Friday’s episode of his HBO show, Real Time with Bill Maherto the shock of his panelists who included Israeli historian Yuval Noah Harari, author Fran Lebowitz and political consultant Ian Bremmer.
“You’re not even worried about that?” Lebowitz said.
“No, not at all,” Maher replied. “Yeah, no, no, no, he’s definitely going to lose. You just feel it.” To which Lebowitz replied, “I hope you’re right.”
Bremmer wasn’t so convinced and engaged the panel in a conversation about whether voters would repeat the “mistake” of putting Trump back in the White House.

“Give us a few weeks. You never know. We still don’t know if we’re going to repeat that mistake,” Bremmer said.
“We’re not,” Maher said. “I already put my marker on it.”
Maher also said polls will show it’s a close race leading up to the election.
“The polls are going to be even,” Maher said. “I promise you, just don’t think about it.”
He added, “And even if he wins, well, you wouldn’t have gone through all that stress.”
The latest New York Times/Sienna College survey showed Trump is growing in support in three key Sun Belt states.
