If Vice President JD Vance decides to run for the nation?s top office
in 2028, he already has one unlikely endorsement ? albeit an unofficial
one ? from Joy Behar.
When Vance appeared on Tuesday?s broadcast of ?The View,? no one
expected him to get along with the decidedly liberal and vocally anti-
Trump hosts of the ABC talk show ? and certainly, no one expected him
to walk away from the table with one of them encouraging him to run for president ? but that is what happened.

Following Tuesday?s broadcast, Behar sat down with longtime executive
producer Brian Teta for the ?Behind the Table? podcast ? and they
jumped right into a conversation about Vance?s appearance and how he?d surprised them by being genuinely funny.
?Listen, he talked about his giant head for a while. I enjoyed that,?
Teta smiled, referencing Vance?s claim that people often only saw his
big head and didn?t notice he was tall. ?He sat down with a joke, I
thought that was pretty good, his press team told him that this was a
table of MAGA Republicans ??
?Yeah, that was funny,? Behar agreed.
?And apparently ? oh, I?m getting a note here ? you told him during the
break that he should run for president because he has a good vibe,?
Teta said then, turning to Behar for a response.
?I think that even though ? for a Republican, mind you, I?m not a
Republican,? Behar said. ?I think possibly I voted for Michael
Bloomberg once for mayor, who was supposedly ? supposedly he was a
Republican. I don?t mind a Republican on the city level because it
needs a little discipline. But on the national level, I want somebody
with a good heart, and those are more in the Democratic Party in my
opinion.?
?They care about the poor, they help people,? Behar continued, adding,
?The Republican Party is more about saving taxes for rich people, so
I?m not a Republican.?
Teta interjected then to say that Vance had admitted backstage that
appearing on ?The View? had made him more nervous than preparing for
his vice presidential debate against Governor Tim Walz (D-MN).
?He should be,? Behar shot back, arguing that the ladies with whom she
shared the table brought ?many receipts? when they presented their
questions. ?Truthfully, as I said to you in the beginning of this conversation, I don?t think that he?s a bad guy. So if he runs against,
say, [Governor] Gavin Newsom (D-CA), that will be an interesting debate
to see those two because they?re both intelligent.?
During the podcast, Behar and Teta also revealed that Vance had set no
ground rules for the interview ? meaning that they could ask him
absolutely anything and he had no advance knowledge of what they might
want to talk about ? and that he?d agreed to those terms without
contest.
Teta then said the most important thing about the interview was the
?bar? it set ? meaning that any future presidential or vice
presidential candidate would be unwise to refuse an appearance on ?The
View.?
?They all will. They have to stop here. They want the female vote,?
Behar declared, suggesting that candidates could only access American
female voters through their show.
Teta said he?d like to invite Secretary of State Marco Rubio to appear,
and Behar shot back, ?We?ll put him on with Ana Navarro, that will be interesting to watch. Talk about a cage match.?

Democrats and the liberal media hate President Trump more than they
