J.D. Vance to make first appearance on 'The View'
Vice President J.D. Vance will appear on ABC’s “The View” next Tuesday — his first visit to the daytime talk program — to promote his new book, “Communion: Finding My Way Back to Faith.”
All six co-hosts — Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin, Sara Haines, Alyssa Farah Griffin and Ana Navarro — are expected to participate. In addition to the book, the panel is anticipated to question Mr. Vance about the administration’s priorities and the latest political headlines.
Mr. Vance will be just the third sitting vice president to appear on the show.
The episode will be live-streamed at 11 a.m. ET across Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV, Fubo and DirecTV Stream, and added to Hulu’s on-demand library later that day. It will also be available on Disney+.
The booking arrives amid a prolonged regulatory dispute between Disney and the Federal Communications Commission. The FCC is investigating “The View” after declaring it subject to federal equal time rules for political candidates. FCC Chairman Brendan Carr opened a separate inquiry in March 2025 into Disney’s diversity practices. Disney has submitted its license renewal applications “under protest,” describing the FCC’s order as “unlawful, arbitrary, and unconstitutional.”
Republicans have largely stopped appearing on “The View” since the FCC investigation began, with only a handful of exceptions. The hosts have said that, more often than not, Republican guests decline their invitations.
ABC has pushed back on the equal-time investigation, arguing the crackdown amounts to a First Amendment violation. Disney has signaled it is preparing to challenge the FCC in court if necessary, and retained former U.S. Solicitor General Paul Clement — a specialist in Supreme Court and appellate arguments — to respond to the View investigation.
