'Real Time' host Bill Maher is not rallying behind Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., as the Democratic nominee in 2028. Maher expressed skepticism about the large crowds that Ocasio-Cortez and Sen. Bernie Sanders have been attracting at their rallies, stating that it's not about the big crowds but who shows up on Election Day. He also criticized the 25-hour marathon speech given by Sen. Cory Booker, calling it Democrats 'whacking each other off.' While Ocasio-Cortez has seen a surge in recent Democratic primary polls, Maher stated that she shouldn't be the candidate in 2028. He also questioned the Democratic Party's focus on the chant 'Free Palestine,' suggesting that they should be focusing on freeing Palestine from Hamas. Maher also mocked Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer for her awkward moment with President Donald Trump, indicating that she is seen as a possible 2028 candidate.
