During an appearance on HBO’s Real Time, host Bill Maher raised concerns about the GOP’s approach to election legitimacy and said his vote could move if the party pursued particular policies. In reply, Ohio Senator JD Vance said his chief objection to the 2020 presidential contest was the role of online platforms, which he contended skewed the public’s ability to exchange information freely.
