Ana Navarro Says She Wants to Ask JD Vance About Epstein on 'The View'
Ana Navarro already has a few questions in mind for JD Vance.
The View cohost previewed the vice president's upcoming appearance on the ABC daytime talk show during an episode of the show's Behind the Table podcast. Vance is scheduled to appear on The View on Tuesday, June 16, at 11 a.m. ET, where he is expected to sit down with the full panel.
Navarro made it clear that she does not want the interview to become just another book-tour stop.
Ana Navarro Said Epstein Is One Topic She Wants to Raise
During the podcast, View producer Brian Teta asked Navarro what she wants to hear from Vance when he joins the Hot Topics table.
"It shouldn't be surprising. He's got a book," she said, according to Entertainment Weekly. "I think that everybody, including Republicans, know that at The View, we're really good at selling books."
She explained why she believes the interview matters.
"I think it's a very relevant time, and I want to ask him questions about Epstein," Navarro said.
She also said she wants to ask Vance about "several issues where there's sunlight between him and Donald Trump."
Navarro Said She Wants a Constructive Conversation
Navarro also said she hopes the interview stays focused on substance.
She said she wants "to have a constructive conversation about the issues Americans care about and are on Americans' minds," according to Entertainment Weekly.
At the same time, she said she does not want the segment to become "some free-for-all for the sake of creating a moment for him so that he can go out and sell books."
