“I expected him to not have a sense of humor and he did have one,” Behar said on Wednesday. “I started when I went back to him and started doing the tumulting with him. I warmed him up and disarmed him immediately.”
Vance appeared on the daytime talk show on Tuesday to promote his new book, Communion: Finding My Way Back to Faith, and to defend the administration’s agenda. Throughout the show, Vance was grilled by all six hosts on a variety of topics, including immigration, affordability, and his past remarks about President Donald Trump.
During a commercial break, Behar told Vance he should run for president, but stopped short of saying she would vote for him.
“Truthfully … I don’t think that [Vance] is a bad guy, so if he runs against, say a Gavin Newsom, that will be an interesting debate to see those two because they’re both intelligent,” she said.
Behar said she would only be open to voting for Republicans at the local level, revealing that she “possibly” voted for former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
“I don’t mind a Republican on the city level because it needs a little discipline,” Behar said. “But on the national level, I want somebody with a good heart, and those are more in the Democratic Party, in my opinion.”
“[Democrats] care about the poor; they help people,” she said. “The Republican Party is much more about saving taxes for rich people. I’m not a Republican.”
Behar said she believes Vance is “definitely” running for president, adding that he came on to the program because of those ambitions and to promote his new book.
