NEW: Bill Maher looks genuinely horrified to learn the Democrats’ 2028 frontrunners are Bernie Sanders and AOC.

MAHER: “And who do you see on the horizon for 2028 in the Democratic primary right now?”

MCCARTHY: “Bernie and AOC.”

MAHER: “No.”

MCCARTHY: “They got the biggest crowds.”

MAHER: “Who’s at the top of that ticket, Kevin? Because if it’s not Bernie, he’s going to be vice president and ‘wait his turn?’”

MCCARTHY: “No, no, it would. Bernie’s been running each time. I’m just saying who’s in the lead right now? … The money is going to AOC. And it’s all small donors. This is exactly where Trump was when no one gave him a chance in ’15.”
