Vice President J.D. Vance is scheduled to appear on ABC’s daytime talk show “The View” next Tuesday for what multiple outlets describe as his first visit to the program. Sources report that the appearance is intended to support promotion of his new book, “Communion: Finding My Way Back to Faith,” and that he is expected to discuss his book as well as current political headlines. Several outlets note that Vance becomes the third sitting U.S. vice president to appear on “The View,” with Fox also characterizing the show as a reliably liberal program.
Deadline additionally reports context involving “The View” and the FCC, saying an investigation into the show’s compliance with the equal time rule is led by Brendan Carr, appointed by President Donald Trump, and that ABC has pushed back on the investigation. Other outlets focus on logistics, including how to watch the episode. One outlet also cites reported viewership figures for Vance’s “The View” guest spot, describing it as a large audience for the show based on the network’s figures.
