Bill Maher Says He Could Back JD Vance in 2028 as Democrats Turn “Cowardly”

Summary
2028 is now “in play” for Bill Maher, who said on ABC’s “This Week” he could vote for Vice President JD Vance if Democrats nominate a candidate from the party’s socialist wing.
Maher tied that openness to what he called a radical Democratic shift, citing Democratic Socialists of America positions such as public ownership of major corporations and abolishing police, prisons and the Senate.
He also accused Democrats of avoiding his HBO show despite receiving his vote in the past, contrasting that with Republicans’ willingness to appear and calling Democrats “cowardly.”
Maher said he still expects Democrats to do well in the 2026 midterms because those races remain a referendum on Donald Trump, but argued the 2028 presidential contest will be different once Trump is off the ballot.
