Radio host Charlamagne Tha God sat in as host for “The Daily Show” this week on Comedy Central and begged President Joe Biden to drop out of the 2024 presidential race.
The South Carolina native, who has been critical of the POTUS before, says his stepping aside would not only better secure a win over former President Donald Trump, but would be “the ultimate Christmas gift” for America.
Many remember how Charlamagne grilled Biden in 2020 when he appeared on his morning radio show, “The Breakfast Club,” where he uttered the comment, “If you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t Black.”
The remark not only offended the host but also many Black people who were tuning in to the show. Nonetheless, despite the controversy, the Delaware politician emerged victorious in the election, surpassing his predecessor in a contentious win that led to an insurrection in Washington, D.C.
Over three years later, and after winning the presidency, Biden is still not one of Charlamagne’s favorites. While hosting “The Daily Show,” he made sure to include his disdain for the president in his behind-the-desk monologue.

Biden was speaking at a closed-door fundraiser on Tuesday, Dec. 5, and started talking about his run for reelection. He told those in attendance “If Trump wasn’t running, I’m not sure I’d be running.”
He added, “We can’t let him win.”
