Vice President JD Vance will be wading into hostile waters Tuesday with a scheduled appearance on "The View," where the talk show's liberal hosts have routinely criticized him and the Trump administration.

ABC said in a news release that Vance will join co-hosts Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin, Sara Haines, Alyssa Farah Griffin and Ana Navarro at the show's New York studio to discuss his new book, "Communion: Finding My Way Back to Faith," which will be released the same day.

Vance will become the third sitting vice president to appear on the show. Joe Biden appeared in 2014 and Kamala Harris in 2024.

ABC said the discussion will cover Vance's book, the Trump administration's priorities and goals and the latest political headlines.

Goldberg mentioned Vance's appearance during Thursday's show. Before a commercial break, she talked about how "a lot of people put all their hopes and dreams" in President Donald Trump and "now their hopes and dreams have taken the back seat to insane stuff for this country," such as the White House ballroom project and refurbishing the reflecting pool at the National Mall.

She then encouraged her audience regarding the midterm elections.

"Do your homework. Find out who has your best interest," Goldberg said.

"And please, please don't sit back. We can't afford it," she continued.

"This will be one of many questions that we're going to be asking our guest on Tuesday. We are going to be joined at the table by Vice President JD Vance," Goldberg said, as the audience gasped.

Vance's appearance comes amid an ongoing dispute between the Federal Communications Commission and Disney Co., ABC's parent company.

In February, FCC Chairman Brendan Carr said the agency had an enforcement action underway involving "The View" over possible violations of the requirement that broadcast stations give equal time to political candidates when they appear on air. The dispute stems in part from a Feb. 2 appearance by U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico of Texas, a Democrat.

The FCC issued new guidance in January indicating late-night and daytime hosts need to give political candidates equal time. In May, ABC and its Houston affiliate petitioned the FCC to declare that "The View" qualifies as a "bona fide news interview program" exempt from equal-opportunities requirements.

The FCC's Media Bureau subsequently sought public comment on the request and questioned whether "The View" still qualifies for the "bona fide news interview" exemption under Section 315(a) of the Communications Act, which generally requires broadcasters to provide equal airtime to legally qualified political candidates. ABC first obtained the exemption for "The View" in 2002.

In its petition, ABC and its Houston affiliate argued that the agency's recent scrutiny of "The View" threatens "decades of settled law and practice." The companies said the review could chill political speech ahead of the midterm elections.

ABC argued the program continues to meet the legal standard because it is regularly scheduled, controlled by the network and selects guests based on newsworthiness rather than political favoritism.
