Story summary

Comedian Bill Maher warned on October 7, 2026, during an interview on "The Chris Cuomo Project," that the Democratic Party has not abandoned its extreme elements and is moving further left. He expressed concern this could be problematic for Democrats in the presidential election of 2028, despite likely Republican losses in the upcoming midterms in November 2026. Maher criticized Democrats for failing to address hostility toward Israel within their ranks, particularly on the anniversary of a significant day for Jewish people post-Holocaust. He argued that when party leaders do not confront these issues, it suggests activists are controlling the direction of the Democratic Party rather than more moderate members.
