JD Vance became the first Republican Vice President to make his appearance on ABC’s ‘The View’, hosted by the seven women who are hostile towards the Donald Trump administration — aside from Donald Trump’s lawsuit against ABC. “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 on his decision to sit down with 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 Fath”.“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. I hope they meet me halfway. I’m a little skeptical, but we’ll see,” he added.But as he walked into the studio on Tuesday, his height became the first talking point as Joy Behar said she was surprised to see how tall JD Vance was. JD Vance smiled and said people mostly see his giant head on the television, and not the height.JD Vance is around 6 feet and 2 inches tall.As the talk show began, JD Vance was asked how he converted from a Trump-hater to his running partner and then the Vice President. Vance said he was wrong about Donald Trump. “When you make predictions and those predictions turn out to be false, you got to ask yourself, well, what made me wrong about that? What did I not understand or not appreciate? For example, I said that Donald Trump’s economic policies would not lead to wage growth. They did in the first term. That was actually a major, major thing! I said that we couldn’t bring back any of those factory jobs because I kind of had given into this idea that those jobs were disappearing, but actually Donald Trump, you saw a manufacturing boom during that administration! So there’s a certain point where you say, you know, I made predictions about this. I ended up being wrong. And in politics and anything, I think it’s important to just say, you know what, I got some things wrong and I was wrong about him,” Vance said.
