Bill Maher warns Democrats still haven't 'renounced their crazy,' says it could spell trouble in 2028

Comedian Bill Maher believes the Democratic Party has not “renounced their crazy” and fears the far left will misinterpret potential midterm wins as validation for their ideologies, which he likens to communism. He predicts Republicans will lose control of Congress in November due to voters punishing Donald Trump, but warns that the Democratic Party’s embrace of the “DSA” and its “insane things” poses a significant threat for the 2028 presidential election. Maher also notes that the party’s stance on issues like Israel, particularly around October 7th, highlights these internal divisions and potential problems.
