Bill Maher just put Vice President JD Vance on notice that his support in 2028 is up for grabs.
The “Real Time” host made the admission during Friday’s episode on HBO, telling Vance his vote could swing rightward if Democrats keep drifting toward socialism, as seen on a video clip of the show. “Like, if this is where the Democratic Party is going, where this Democratic socialist, this obsession with Israel, with the Jew hating, they don’t believe in capitalism, no prisons. If this is where they’re going, my vote is in play,” Maher told Vance.
Vance, 41, welcomed the remark with a quick “I like to hear that.” Maher then clarified that party labels have never dictated his choices. “It actually always has been. Every year, I don’t make my decision by who has an R or a D, I actually always came to the conclusion that the Democrat was probably better and voted for them,” he said.
With President Donald Trump barred from another term, Maher narrowed the field of Republicans who might earn his vote. “So it’s either going to be you or Rubio,” he told Vance, referring to Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
The host attached one condition before any such vote could happen. He pressed Vance to break from Trump’s pattern of disputing election results, framing it as a dealbreaker for winning over voters like him, according to The Daily Beast. Maher asked whether Vance would bring the country back toward conceding elections rather than alleging fraud after every loss.
Vance declined to give the answer Maher wanted. “OK, Bill, so this is where I’m probably gonna lose you here,” the vice president said, according to The Daily Beast. He argued that Trump’s complaints centered on 2020 and pointed to technology companies he accused of suppressing right-leaning content that year.
Maher also took aim at prominent Democrats who keep turning down invitations to his program. “I can’t get AOC, I can’t get Mamdani, I couldn’t get Kamala Harris. Took me eight years to get Obama!” he said.
His frustration lands as the party’s left wing keeps gaining ground. Darializa Avila Chevalier, a Democratic Socialists of America member, unseated incumbent Rep. Adriano Espaillat in Tuesday’s primary for New York’s 13th Congressional District, the New York Post reported. She was one of several candidates backed by New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani to win their primary races.

Keep your vote Bill. You are as valuable as The Rock.
Every year he checks to see if the pack of lies offered makes him feel better.
“if this is where the Democratic Party is going, where this Democratic socialist, this obsession with Israel, with the Jew hating, they don’t believe in capitalism, no prisons. If this is where they’re going, my vote is in play,” Maher told Vance.”
With all that evil and he’s STILL on the fence?
Good grief dude, if that doesn’t move you
just don’t vote at all. SMH
“came to the conclusion that the Democrat was probably better and voted for them,” he said.”
Mahr apparently has unbelievably poor decision making skills.
At the end of the day he’s just another one time comedian that for some reason believes he’s some sort of expert on politics.
"I would still urge the folks in Maine to vote for him, for two reasons," Maher said after listing off numerous controversies. "One, we need to restore balance in our government, and a Democratic Senate would help a lot with that."
We have not had a Constitutionally conservative government in over a century, and yet as we approach one (with the Slave Party and RINOs still in charge of the Senate) he talks of "restoring balance"?
The man is delusional from believing his own "feel-good" lies to himself, just like the rest of his cohort.
Yes, work hard for Maher’s vote. 🙄
Never believe a Dim they will vote Repub.
Never believe any celeb.
The moment they have an agent, their freedoms are gone. Every single person I know who is in front of a camera does this. And that number is in the 100s.
I have heard hundreds of Dims claim that and doubt any of them did.
“Like, if this is where the Democratic Party is going, where this Democratic socialist, this obsession with Israel, with the Jew hating, they don’t believe in capitalism, no prisons. If this is where they’re going, my vote is in play,” Maher told Vance.”
You mean like Platner in Maine who is for that very thing and Maher said he would hold his nose and vote for him?
Bill- put money where mouth is.
I remember him on Imus show,
He’ll probably vote for the Communist in 2028. All of his friends are Leftist and he lives in California so he’s not going to want to get ostracized by his peers.
