- Maher said Democrats should be asked if they want the party to move toward Mamdani’s approach and publicly invited the mayor-elect to appear on Real Time.
- A Fox News Voter Poll reported that Mamdani received his strongest support from voters under 30.
- Rep. Jared Moskowitz contended that Republicans are trying to make Mamdani the face of the Democratic Party to force others to answer for his positions.
- On the program, panelists debated why younger voters lean left, with social media and economic strain cited, and Maher also sparred on-air with Bill O’Reilly during a segment critical of the party’s left flank.
