JD Vance puts on masterclass defending Trump admin against hostile women of The View

Vice President JD Vance stepped into one of the most politically charged daytime television environments in America on Tuesday, appearing on ABC’s The View for what was initially billed as a book interview but quickly turned into a wide-ranging and hostile attack on the Vice President and his political allies.

The appearance comes amid a broader media push by Vance, who has increasingly taken on television, podcast and cable interviews to defend and support the Trump administration.

The vice president has opted to consistently engage directly with outlets known for adversarial interviews with conservative officials. From the opening minutes, the tone was set with rapid-fire questioning on inflation and Trump’s economic crisis. "Inflation got up to 9% under the Biden administration. Right now it’s at 3.5% We’re doing everything we can to bring it back down," the Vice President pointed out.
