Behar said she doesn’t mind Republicans being elected — as long as it is on a local level.

“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,” she said. “They care about the poor, they help people. The Republican Party is much more about saving taxes for rich people. So I’m not a Republican.”

“Truthfully, as I said to you at the beginning of this conversation, I don’t think that he’s a bad guy,” she said of Vance. “So if he runs against, say, Gavin Newsom, that would be an interesting debate to see those two because they’re both intelligent.”

Behar also joked President Donald Trump may be getting “jealous” after seeing “The View” hosts getting along with Vance.

She added she drew the line with Vance is him chalking up his past criticism of Trump — before joining his administration — to the media’s depiction of the president.

“Don’t give me that. That’s where I draw the line on the guy. Don’t blame me for the fact — you went to Yale law school, you can’t read between the lines? You can’t watch something and discern what’s going on? Come on,” she said.

On the show, Vance said Behar told him off-air that he was “fine” for a Republican.

“Joy said when we were off air that I’m fine, which I think is about the best endorsement I’m gonna get out of Joy Behar,” he said.

“For a Republican,” Behar added.

“Graded on a curve here at ‘The View,’” Vance said.
