ā€œThe View’sā€ Joy Behar told Vice President JD Vance he has a ā€œgood vibeā€ and should run for president.

The Republican politician appeared on the show Tuesday. Behar spoke about the interview with executive producer Brian Teta on the ā€œBehind the Tableā€ podcast.

Behar admitted she doesn’t believe Vance is a ā€œbad guy.ā€Ā 

She added it would be ā€œinterestingā€ to see him and California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) running against each other in 2028.

ā€œI’m getting a note here. You told him during the break that he should run for president because he had a good vibe,ā€ Teta said.

ā€œI think that — even though for a Republican, mind you. I’m not a Republican. I think possibly I voted forMichael Bloombergonce for mayor who was supposedly,ā€ Behar said, referring to the former Mayor of New York City.

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

ā€œI 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,ā€ she said. ā€œThey 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.ā€

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

Behar also joked President Donald Trump may be getting ā€œjealousā€ after seeing ā€œThe Viewā€ 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.

ā€œDon’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,ā€ she said.

On the show, Vance said Behar told him off-air that he was ā€œfineā€ for a Republican.

ā€œJoy 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,ā€ he said.

ā€œFor a Republican,ā€ Behar added.

ā€œGraded on a curve here at ā€˜The View,ā€™ā€ Vance said.
