In a recent discussion with Bill Maher on June 14, Charlamagne tha God hinted that he may lean towards voting for President Joe Biden in the upcoming election. As the host of The Breakfast Club, Charlamagne has been careful not to explicitly endorse any candidate during this election cycle, but he has previously used language similar to that of Biden in his appearances.
According to a report by The Hill, Maher brought up the topic of endorsement to Charlamagne, stating that he knew he wouldn't be endorsing Biden. Charlamagne responded by saying, "I'm not endorsing anyone. But that doesn't mean I won't be voting." He went on to explain that while he may not endorse a specific candidate, he believes in the importance of exercising his right to vote.
Charlamagne, whose real name is Lenard McKelvey, further elaborated on his stance by saying, "Whenever I have these conversations or appear on shows, I always say the same thing about Donald Trump. I see him as a threat to democracy. He attempted to overthrow the Constitution and the results of an election. So when I say these things, does it sound like I'm supporting Trump?"
Maher tried to push Charlamagne to reveal why he hasn't outrightly endorsed Biden, to which Charlamagne turned the tables on him. He brought up a recent episode of the show where Ken Burke, a guest, stated that he doesn't support Biden and won't be voting for him. Charlamagne pointed out that Maher didn't push back on Burke's statement, to which Maher defended himself by saying that he frequently challenges such arguments.
Despite endorsing Biden in the last election, McKelvey has made it clear that he does not find either candidate worthy of his endorsement this time around. In a previous appearance on The View in May, Charlamagne shared that he would rather focus on the importance of preserving democracy rather than endorsing a specific candidate. He stated, "The reality is, I believe both candidates are inadequate. So if I don't want to endorse either of them, would you rather me endorse an individual or endorse the need to protect democracy?"
In conclusion, Charlamagne tha God has not officially endorsed any candidate for the upcoming election. He instead chooses to highlight the importance of exercising one's right to vote and protecting democracy. While he may have endorsed Biden in the past, he believes that neither candidate is fit for his endorsement this time.
