During a busy week in politics, Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren weighed in on all the commotion.
The politician stopped by this morning’s episode of The View, where she warned the co-hosts that former president Donald Trump‘s running mate J.D. Vance is not the same man who criticized Trump years ago.
(Editor’s Note: The View is currently on hiatus; contrary to what you may have heard, The View was not canceled today. This article was originally published on July 17, 2024 when this episode first aired. The View will return with new episodes in September.)
“Understand who J.D. Vance is — and I’m not talking about the original J.D. Vance who referred to Donald Trump as ‘America’s Hitler,’” she said. “But the J.D. Vance who’s evidently changed his position.”
Warren added, “He is the J.D. Vance now who is more Trump than Trump on abortion,” noting that Vance will also “help” Trump “cut social security and medicare.”
She also pointed out that Vance wants to “get rid” of the Affordable Care Act, which she said would be a “real risk” for Americans with health insurance since it doesn’t allow insurance companies to “discriminate against” people with pre-existing conditions.
“It’s J.D. Vance who owes his entire political career to billionaires — literally — who swooped in, poured money into his race in Ohio, lifted him up and he is all there on a tax cut that would give every billionaire $3.5 million every year in tax cuts, paid for by you,” she continued. “Not good. That’s who he is.”
The View co-hosts first brought attention to Vance on their July 16 episode when Joy Behar thought he would be “a good choice” for Democrats.
“He’s a carbon copy of Trump. So what new voters is he gonna bring in?” Behar said. “Not the suburban mom. Not the girl who needs an abortion. Not the gay people who want to retain their rights. Not people who support Ukraine. So, what exactly did he accomplish?”

Alyssa Farah Griffin admitted that Vance had “some talents” given his background at Yale and in the Marines, though she also pointed out some of the more controversial moments from his career.
“For every normal interview he’s given in mainstream media, there are extremely polarizing clips of him in some of the farthest right corners of the internet espousing things that are outside of the political mainstream,” she said, adding that there has been “a total realignment of Republican politics.”
