Bill Maher talks about Zohran Mamdani – Screencap of Twitter/X video.
It’s really starting to look like Democrat Socialist (communist) Zohran Mamdani is going to be the next mayor of New York City. It’s hard to believe, but barring some unforeseen change in the next couple of weeks, it’s his race to lose.
Bill Maher seems a little nervous about this possibility.
During his HBO show on Friday night, Maher raised some questions about what this means for the Democrat party in the long run.
FOX News reports:
Bill Maher warns Democrats of Mamdani’s impact, says the ‘whole’ party is on the ballot
“Real Time” host Bill Maher battled CNN political commentator Kate Bedingfield on Friday over New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani’s dual citizenship, as the comedian warned electing the democratic socialist candidate might not be a good look for the party.
“I think the whole Democratic Party in the country is on the ballot, and the whole country will be looking at this race to see which way are the Democrats going to go,” Maher said.
Maher said former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo wasn’t inspirational or all that exciting, but said he was “kind of normal.” Bedingfield said that there were things in Cuomo’s past that she didn’t want to embrace as normal.
“They’re going to have to decide on this mayor’s race. Now, they say it’s getting closer. If it is Mamdami in New York, again, I think this has very important national implications,” Maher said.

Kate Beddingfield, a far left Dem operative who was a guest on the show, tried to calm Maher’s fears. She just seems relieved that the left is actually excited about a Democrat candidate, but Maher fired back at her with a very good point:
Maher pushed back as he pointed to Cuomo’s criticism of Mamdani’s ties to Uganda, where he was born, due to the country’s treatment of LGBTQ people. Cuomo is running as an independent against Mamdani.
“You make it sound like he’s a little more mainstream than I think he is. I mean, the issue now that Andrew Cuomo is bringing up in New York is that he is a Ugandan citizen. Uganda is a country where they kill homosexuals,” Maher said. “I would renounce, if I was the dual citizen with a country whose policy was we kill homosexuals. I would renounce that citizenship,” Maher said.

Kate Bedingfield: “So someone who is a dual citizen can’t be mayor of New York?”

Maher’s concern seems genuine, but it may be too late. The people of New York City may actually go through with this.
