Vice President JD Vance received a mixed reception from the studio audience during a live appearance on ABC’s “The View” on Tuesday, with several audience members visibly refusing to applaud as he walked onto the set for a rare interview on the daytime talk show.

As he entered the Disney-owned network’s Lower Manhattan studio to discuss his new book, “Communion: Finding My Way Back to Faith,” the show’s co-hosts rose to welcome him.

While many audience members clapped, others remained seated with their arms folded or hands in their laps as cameras captured the split reaction.

The Post has sought comment from ABC and Vance.

The relationship between Vance and the ABC program has been a tense one. In recent years, the show’s predominantly left-leaning panelists have criticized both him and President Trump over a range of issues.

“We’ve been asking our next guest to join us for a while now, so we’re glad he’s taking us up on the offer today,” co-host Whoopi Goldberg said at the start of Tuesday’s confab.

The appearance marked just the third time a sitting vice president has appeared on “The View” during the show’s nearly three-decade run.

The White House said Vance received a hearty welcome, with its Rapid Response 47 account writing on X: “ROARING APPLAUSE FOR OUR VICE PRESIDENT — EVEN ON THE VIEW!”

The post included footage of audience members clapping as the veep greeted the hosts and took his seat at the “Hot Topics” table.

The audience at “The View” has a history of vocal reactions to political guests.

In 2022, climate protesters interrupted a live interview with Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz, prompting Goldberg to order them removed from the studio.

The following year, audience members booed former New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu, a Republican, during a discussion about gun control, leading Goldberg and Joy Behar to chide viewers for heckling guests.

Vance’s appearance came in the midst of a broader clash between the Trump administration and the daytime talk show.

The Federal Communications Commission, led by Chairman Brendan Carr, previously launched an inquiry into whether “The View” violated equal-time rules after interviewing Democratic Texas Senate candidate James Talarico.

ABC, the show’s parent network, has challenged the FCC’s actions, arguing they threaten longstanding legal precedent and protected speech.

Trump administration reps have repeatedly traded barbs with the show’s hosts.

White House officials have issued statements criticizing panelists including Goldberg, Ana Navarro, Sunny Hostin and Joy Behar in response to on-air attacks against Trump and his administration.

Ahead of the interview with Vance, executive producer Brian Teta said on the show’s “Behind the Table” podcast that he hoped the discussion would be a “passionate debate that’s respectful.”
