Comedy, Bill Maher, HBO Late Night Host lamented over the weekend that President Biden’s recent rhetoric and embrace of far-left policies have made it increasingly more difficult to “convince” Democrat centrists that their views still align with the party.
In a Sunday interview on CNN’s “Fareed Zakaria GPS,” Maher predicted a sweeping victory for Republicans in Tuesday’s midterm elections, suggesting that Biden’s efforts to appease the far-left progressive wing of the Democrat Party could be what costs them critical congressional seats.
Maher pointed to Biden’s interview last month with a transgender TikTok activist, during which the president said it is “wrong” for states to ban gender-affirming health care. His comments came shortly after the administration released a series of documents that encouraged gender-reassignment surgery and hormone treatments for minors.

“Biden had the TikTokers into his office about a week ago as kind of a Hail Mary, I guess, with this election, because that, you know, generation doesn’t vote very much, but if they do, they think they’re going to vote Democratic,” Maher said.
“And then he got all in on gender reconstruction surgery, which, you know what, that generation thinks, is the civil right movement of its time,” he said. “But, you know, for the people who I’ve tried to convince that Biden is a centrist, I kind of get it when they see something like that, and they say, what do you mean Biden is a centrist? This is what he’s doing on this issue. He just completely sold out…”
Zakaria said he was surprised that Biden is now a liberal Democrat and not a traditional Democrat.
“I find it strange that Joe Biden is so odd. You remember when Obama picked him. Obama was trying to balance the ticket to his right… People thought he was crazy.” [Obama]He was very liberal. And Joe Biden was this traditional White… now he’s clearly on policies to the left of Obama,” he said.

Maher agreed, adding that Democrats will be forced to confront the ramifications of the party’s leftward shift when Republicans regain congressional control.
“Yes, because the party moved there, and he doesn’t want to go against what he sees as the base,” he said. “You know, I think the Democrats will discover that this was not a good strategy.
In an earlier interview on comedian Bill Burr’s “Monday Morning Podcast,” the “Real Time” host blamed “woke culture” for handing the GOP a victory on Election Day. Maher said at the time that the left has gone “super crazy” in ways that the average American “doesn’t understand” and can’t relate to.
“The left has disappeared Super crazy with lots of s— that the average American just never voted for, doesn’t recognize in this country, doesn’t want,” he told Burr.
Maher stated that the country should be ready for anything, even though Republicans are in control. End of democracyThis echos the sentiments of Democrat pundits that have adopted similar rhetoric in the lead-up to Election Day.
