Comedian Bill Maher predicted Republicans will do well in the midterms because the far left has gone too “woke.”

Maher joined comedian Bill Burr on his podcast Thursday, where he predicted that approximately 300 Republicans “who don’t believe in Democracy” will win in Tuesday’s midterm elections. Maher also warned that things would “fundamentally change” in the country after the midterms.

RealClearPolitics predicts Republicans will take 54 seats in the Senate while Democrats will hold 46.
