Comedian Bill Maher has warned the Democratic Party has not 'renounced their crazy' and says this could damage them in 2028.

Comedian Bill Maher warned the Democratic Party has not 'renounced their crazy' on Thursday and that this could spell trouble for the party in 2028. During an interview on 'The Chris Cuomo Project', he said Republicans were likely to lose control of Congress in the midterms, but the Democratic Party had not successfully made its case to the American people.

Maher said the far left would misinterpret a Trump election loss as a recommendation for their agenda. He characterised Democratic policies involving industry as 'communism', defining it as 'taking over the means of production and taking over all the private industries'.

He suggested the party could set aside such positions for the election, but noted that 'the sane wing of the party is very circumspect at how much they criticise this because they know there's just so much energy on that side'. Maher also touched on the party's response to events in Israel as another example of where Democrats risk losing ground with voters.
