Comedian Bill Maher<\/a> revealed to Vice President JD Vance that he could consider voting Republican in 2028.<\/p>\n

Appearing on Friday\u2019s episode of “Real Time with Bill Maher,” Vance and Maher sparred over the future of the Republican Party amid the rise of Democratic socialism, with Maher confessing he could flip his vote red under certain conditions.<\/p>\n

“If this is where the Democratic Party is going \u2014 this obsession with Israel, with the Jew-hating, they don\u2019t believe in capitalism, no prisons. If this is where they\u2019re going, my vote is in play,” Maher told Vance.<\/p>\n

Maher added that he has never voted along party lines and prefers the candidate who he sees as best fit to lead the country.<\/p>\n

“Every year, I don\u2019t 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,” Maher said.<\/p>\n

He went on to say that he would consider voting Republican but only if the party would concede in future elections<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s either going to be you or Rubio,” Maher continued. “Here\u2019s my deal-breaker for your side: Under Trump, you guys have two outcomes that an election can be, either we win or they cheated. That s— has to stop. And that means the person who has to stop it will be you or Marco. Can you tell me you will do that?”<\/p>\n

Vance, however, doubled down<\/a> on his belief that previous elections had involved a level of censorship.<\/p>\n

“OK, Bill, so this is where I\u2019m probably going to lose you here,” Vance said. “I don\u2019t think we should not concede elections, but I don\u2019t think that\u2019s what\u2019s going on.<\/p>\n

“The biggest criticism I had of the 2020 election is that you had technology companies that were quite literally censoring negative information about the left and promoting negative information about the right.”<\/p>\n

Bill Maher said his Democratic voting streak could end, telling Vice President JD Vance that a future GOP ticket would likely be led by Vance or Secretary of State Marco Rubio.<\/p>\n

“Well, you\u2019re going to get a big pat on the back when you go back to the White House,” Maher replied, after pointing out that the claims of voter interference had been litigated.<\/p>\n

The comic commended Vance for appearing<\/a> on his show, while revealing a few high-profile politicians who have reportedly turned him down.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m just glad you\u2019re talking to me, you know?” Maher told the vice president. “I mean, I say it every time. The Republicans come here, and they take their beating like a man.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s the people I vote for<\/a>, they\u2019re the ones who won\u2019t talk to me. That\u2019s odd, isn\u2019t it?”<\/p>\n

Vance asked if New York City<\/a> democratic socialist Darializa Avila Chevalier would appear on Maher\u2019s show after her historic upset win earlier this week, when she unseated incumbent Rep. Adriano Espaillat in the Democratic primary for New York\u2019s 13th Congressional District.<\/p>\n

“I can\u2019t get [Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez<\/a>]. I can\u2019t get Mamdani. I couldn\u2019t get Kamala Harris. Took me eight years to get Obama,” Maher replied.<\/p>\n
