Bill Maher, the host of ‘Real Time,’ clashed with CNN commentator Kate Bedingfield over New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani’s dual citizenship during a heated debate on Friday. Maher warned that the Democratic Party could face significant national implications if Mamdani were to win the election, suggesting it might signal a shift in the party’s direction. The conversation centered around Mamdani’s ties to Uganda, where he is a citizen and where anti-LGBTQ laws are prevalent. Maher criticized the potential of the race to reflect the party’s stance on human rights, raising concerns about the implications of supporting a candidate with such ties.
