Vice President JD Vance is set to make his first appearance on ABC’s ‘The View’ on Wednesday, becoming just the third sitting vice president to join the daytime talk show’s panel. Vance will join all six co-hosts to discuss his new book, ‘Communion: Finding My Way Back to Faith,’ and other topics.

Preparation for the Interview

Vance told Fox News Digital that he is approaching the interview as an opportunity for an earnest conversation, even with people whose views differ from his own. ‘My job as vice president of the United States is not just to talk to the people who voted for me, it’s to talk to the people who didn’t vote for me too,’ said Vance.

Vance’s appearance comes after years of criticism from the show’s hosts, who have repeatedly targeted both him and his wife since he was tapped as President Donald Trump’s running mate. Co-host Joy Behar argued Vance was selected to serve as vice president to be a ‘carbon copy’ of Trump and would fail to bring in any new voters.

Previous Criticism

Co-host Ana Navarro once pointed out that Vance could be embarrassed prior to the vice-presidential debate last year. Vance will be the third sitting vice president to join the program and the first Republican vice president to do so, after appearances by Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.
