Bill Maher tells Vance his 2028 vote is ‘in play’ as he rips key Dems for refusing to appear on his show
Bill Maher recently sat down with Vice President JD Vance on his show “Real Time” and had a candid conversation about the future of the Democratic Party and the upcoming 2028 presidential election. Maher expressed his concerns about the direction the party is heading, particularly towards socialism, anti-capitalism, and anti-Israel sentiments. He made it clear that his vote is “in play” if the Democrats continue on this path.
Maher, known for his independent thinking and willingness to vote for the best candidate regardless of party affiliation, emphasized that he has always chosen the candidate he believes is the most suitable for the job. He couldn’t predict who the next leader of the Democratic Party would be, but suggested that the Republicans might have an easier choice between Vance and Rubio.
During the interview, Maher and Vance touched on various topics such as Iran’s nuclear weapons, immigration, and the Trump Administration. Maher commended Vance for appearing on the show and joked about the lack of applause he receives compared to Republicans who come on the show.
One notable point Maher raised was the absence of high-ranking Democrats like NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani, Kamala Harris, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on his show. He expressed frustration at their refusal to appear, mentioning that it took him eight years to finally get Obama on the show.
Vance, who has been actively involved in foreign affairs, particularly with Iran, expressed confidence in America’s position in the ongoing conflict. He stated that regardless of the outcome, America would come out on top.
Overall, the conversation between Maher and Vance shed light on the current state of American politics, the challenges facing the Democratic Party, and the potential contenders for the 2028 presidential election. It remains to be seen how the political landscape will evolve leading up to the election.
