Vice President JD Vance's appearance on The View delivered the show's biggest audience in nearly two years. ABC says Vance's June 16 appearance drew 3.3 million viewers, making it the most-watched episode since the day after the 2024 presidential election and the second-largest audience for the daytime talk show since January 2021. Vance spent nearly the entire hour discussing his new book, Communion, while also defending President Trump and the administration's policies during spirited exchanges with the hosts.
