Vance shares how he's gearing up for lion's den debut on 'The View'

Vice President JD Vance is set to make his first appearance on ABC's "The View" on Wednesday, becoming just the third sitting vice president to join the daytime talk show's panel."It may be the optimist in me, but I just fundamentally think that most people — not everybody, but most people — even if I disagree with them, you ought to try to have a conversation with them," Vance told Fox News Digital in a sit-down interview Tuesday.Vance will join all six co-hosts, including Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin, Sara Haines, Alyssa Farah Griffin and Ana Navarro, to discuss his new book, "Communion: Finding My Way Back to Faith." His appearance comes on the heels of the Trump administration's newly reached agreement with Iran, in which the vice president played a key role in negotiations.Asked how he was preparing for the interview, Vance said he was approaching it as an opportunity for an earnest conversation, even with people whose views differ from his own.FLASHBACK: VICE PRESIDENT JD VANCE WILL APPEAR ON 'THE VIEW' AFTER HOSTS CONDEMNED HIM FOR YEARSVance will join all six co-hosts of "The View" to discuss his book "Communion" and the Trump administration's newly reached agreement with Iran.(Unknown)"My job as Vice President of the United States is not just to talk to the people who voted for me, it's to talk to the people who didn't vote for me too," said Vance."We're going to go and try to have a good conversation.
