A liberal television icon issued a blunt warning to the Democratic Party about the upcoming midterm elections after a rash of far-left socialists won primary elections last week. Bill Maher , a comedian known for his political commentary, said Democrats are "well on their way" to blowing the November midterms after voting for three "outright really crazy" socialists in New York's primary elections rather than their more establishment Democrat counterparts. Three socialists, Darializa Avila Chevalier, New York State Assembywoman Claire Valdez and former New York City Comptroller Brad Lander all won Democratic primaries in New York City congressional districts last Tuesday. BILL MAHER CALLS MAMDANI-BACKED SOCIALIST ‘PATIENT ZERO’ OF THE ‘WOKE MIND VIRUS’ In the wake of the socialist sweep, Maher was asked Sunday during an event in Washington, D.C. about comments he made claiming the 2026 midterms are the Democratic Party's to lose. "I did say that, it was about two months ago, and you see how quickly the news changes in just two months, because that was before the Supreme Court made a ruling on voting rights," said Maher, referencing the April Supreme Court decision in Louisiana v. Callais, which said congressional districts in that state had been illegally racially gerrymandered. Maher, who has recently become a voice for moderate Democrats, made the comments just before accepting the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. Maher hosts "Real Time with Bill Maher" on HBO and is a late night comedian icon. "So, that has changed just in the last two months and then the Democrats just elected three very far-left democratic socialists in New York who are crazy — like outright really crazy — so like, how are they gonna blow it? I don't know but they seem to be well on their way." JEFFRIES' SOCIALISM DILEMMA: NEW YORK VICTORIES EXPOSE DEMOCRATIC PARTY DIVIDE Maher's comments echoed those of a growing list of Democrats who…
