Howard Stern: 'I am all in on Joe Biden'

Source: The Hill

Howard Stern announced Monday he's "all in on Joe Biden," saying President Trump "could have been ahead of this curve" on the coronavirus pandemic.

Stern made his endorsement on his SiriusXM radio show after a Trump supporter defended the president's Thursday remarks regarding using disinfectant or ultraviolet light to combat the coronavirus, which Trump tried to walk back on Friday as being "sarcastic."

"What's it going to take? I don't get it," Stern said of the president's comments. "I don't think there is anyone left who will vote for him."

"I am all in on Joe Biden," he later added. "You see the wall that's right next to you, I'll vote for the wall over a guy who tells me that I should pour Clorox into my mouth. Listen, I think we are in deep shit. I think we could have been ahead of this curve."

This is actually a relatively important endorsement.

His dropping even a small % his estimated $650M fortune into the race could also be quite handy.

listeners that are the white working class types in his audience - flipping 1, 2 or 3 out of every 100 could make a big difference.

Except to their advertisers, Howard 100 and 101 channels do not release information on the number of people that listen. Figure from several hundred thousand up to 2 million listeners a day. On any given week, up to 10 million listeners.


it's possible he could persuade certain people to not vote for trump and vote Biden instead. He has a "varied" audience I think.

"How do you go bankrupt selling red meat to America?" Stern on Trump.

And don't forget the casinos—businesses where people come in and give you their money even though the rules are set up to favor the house. Who bankrupts a casino? Either someone incompetent, or someone corrupt, or both.

Howard's come a long way from his "shock jock" days. He's really evolved, and I think he's got a significant following....

When he was at the top of his game as a reality TV star, he loved going on Stern's show and lapping up the adoration. I think it was a Stern show where he once claimed to be mostly a Democrat.

He may be crude but he tells it like it is and for him to come out and say he’s voting for Biden is big! I’m sure mf45 is fuming over this endorsement.

While I don’t listen all the times I sometimes will switch over to his channel and have a good laugh.

Stern has women go on show and masturbate, he's way bluer than Rogan.

I have no problem with that and I think he's a pretty smart guy but are we gonna be consistent here?

I put him in the same bin as Scaramucci and Palin. I don’t much give a damn what either of them have to say.

Oh yeah? A quick trip across the Internet and twitterverse will open your eyes a bit. Or just take a little drive through any rural area in 'Murika.

Worst case scenario for tRump is he'll get 50 million votes this November. WORST case scenario.
