Following Vance’s appearance on her show, Joy Behar spoke fondly about him.

She even admitted that she encouraged him to run for president!

Watch this:

Joy Behar admits she's smitten for JD Vance and asked him to run for President backstage "because he has a good vibe" and is "intelligent" after his appearance on The View:
