The View co-host Joy Behar complimented Vice President JD Vance following his appearance on the daytime talk show, calling him “intelligent” and recommending he run for president. On the talk show’s podcast Behind The Table, Behar discussed her impression of Vance, noting that he was different from what she expected. “I expected him to not have a sense of humor and he did have one,” Behar said on Wednesday. “I started when I went back to him and started doing the tumulting with him. I warmed him up and disarmed him immediately.”
Vance appeared on the daytime talk show on Tuesday to promote his new book, Communion: Finding My Way Back to Faith, and to defend the administration’s agenda. Throughout the show, Vance was grilled by all six hosts on a variety of topics, including immigration, affordability, and his past remarks about President Donald Trump.
During a commercial break, Behar told Vance he should run for president, but stopped short of saying she would vote for him.
“Truthfully … I don’t think that [Vance] is a bad guy, so if he runs against, say a Gavin Newsom, that will be an interesting debate to see those two because they’re both intelligent,” she said.
Behar said she would only be open to voting for Republicans at the local level, revealing that she “possibly” voted for former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
