Maher hits Newsom, Whitmer for running 'shadow' 2024 campaigns, credits Dean Phillips for challenging Biden
Fox News
HBO host Bill Maher knocked top Democrats like California Gov. Gavin Newsom and Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer for running "shadow campaigns" instead of challenging President Biden.
"I endorsed the idea," Maher said Friday, "because I did an editorial a couple weeks ago calling [Biden] Ruth Bader Biden. And look, we both struggle with the same thing. We like Joe Biden, right? And we think he's done a good job. Ruth Bader Ginsburg did a good job and did not know when to quit, and that's why you're here." Joseph A. Wulfsohn is a media reporter for Fox News Digital.

"And it's not like others are doing this in a — sort of a — shadow campaign," Maher later said. "I mean, Gavin Newsom, our governor, seems to be all over the world."
