“Real Time” host Bill Maher, speaking with Vice President JD Vance Friday, maligned the recent election victories in New York by three democratic socialist candidates and said his vote may soon land with a different party.
“If this is where the Democratic Party is going, with the democratic socialists. This obsession with Israel, the Jew hating, with, they don’t believe in capitalism, no prisons. If this is where they’re going, my vote is in play,” Maher said.
“OK, I like to hear that,” Vance said.
Maher added that he has always considered both parties when casting his vote, but has previously always come down on the side of the Democrats.
Vance seemed pleased by this seemingly revelatory statement by Maher, but quickly had to go on the defensive when the comedian announced his dealbreaker when it comes to voting Republican.
“Under Trump, you guys have two outcomes that an election can be,” Maher said. “Either we win, or they cheated. That shit has to stop. And that means the person who has to stop it is you. Or, Marco [Rubio].”
Maher pressed Vance on whether he, as the Republican nominee in 2028, would “bring us back to the middle” where “we concede elections,” as President Donald Trump did not do in 2020 when he lost to Joe Biden.
Vance obfuscated the question, claiming his biggest problem with the 2020 election was “technology companies” that were “censoring negative information about the left, and promoting negative information about the right.”
Vance claimed that because there wasn’t a “free and open debate” in 2020, the election was somehow illegitimate.
“The sense in which I think the election in 2020 was rigged, I’m sorry, is that you had technology companies that were putting their thumb on the scale in a way that completely obliterated the real open exchange of ideas,” Vance said.
The vice president said he did not share the same sentiment regarding the 2024 election.
“Well, you’re gonna get a big pat on the back when you go back to the White House,” Maher said.
