After Donald Trump’s victory in the 2024 presidential election The view cast commemorated their first post-election episode by dressing all in black.

On Wednesday (Nov. 6), ABC’s daytime talk show aired its first broadcast since the Republican nominee was re-elected to a second term in the White House. In honor of the occasion, co-hosts Alyssa Farah Griffin, Sunny Hostin, and Ana Navarro sat down The view round table in matching black outfits as they discussed Trump’s victory.

Joy Behar wore a black blouse under a navy blue velvet blazer during the episode, while co-anchor Sara Haines was dressed in a dark green dress. Whoopi Goldberg was the only one The view panelist who apparently didn’t adhere to the supposed dress code, as she wore a pink floral cardigan and a light-colored button-up shirt.

“The women of The view dressed in all-black funeral robes,” one viewer commented on X/Twitter.

“The ladies who come out in all black, dressed for a funeral, are very appropriate. RIP America. #THEVIEW,” said another fan.

A third user wrote: “Wearing funeral clothes The view goes so fast.”

Goldberg kicked off The view post-election coverage by trying to add humor to the somber episode, asking her co-hosts, “So what happened last night?”

While Behar acknowledged that she “strongly disagreed” with the outcome of the election, Haines lashed out at election deniers who disputed the outcome of the 2020 presidential election by discouraging voters from claiming “the system needs to be broken” or that the election ‘were not good’. manipulated.”

“You say it is what it is, and you still show up,” she said.

Farah Griffin, a former Trump aide who revealed during Tuesday’s episode that she voted for Vice President Kamala Harris, explained that she “always thought” Trump could win re-election, but she didn’t expect the results to be this way would be overwhelming.

“I think we’re forgetting rural America, I think the working class feels abandoned,” she argued.

However, Hostin didn’t hold back when she said she was “deeply disturbed” by Trump’s victory. “As a woman of color, I had so much hope that a mixed-race woman married to a Jewish man could be elected president of this country,” she said. “I don’t think it had anything to do with policy; I think this was a referendum of cultural resentment.”

Navarro said she was at the Harris-Walz campaign headquarters in Washington, D.C., on Election Day, which she described as a “very sad scene” when the results came out.

“Unlike Donald Trump and his followers, I recognize that he won. I hope for the best for our country and I make a promise to our LGBTQ, to our immigrants, to our elders, to our young girls, to the women we will not stop fighting.”

As for Goldberg, the Oscar-winning actor declined to mention him by name. “He’s the president now,” Goldberg said. “I’m still not going to say his name, that won’t change.”

During Trump’s 2024 re-election campaign, the cast of The view has been openly critical of the Republican candidate — so much so that he called the show’s commentators “really stupid people” at a rally in Pennsylvania last month. The president-elect also mentioned Goldberg, who often refers to Trump as what he called “you-know-who.” The color purple star a “demented and “disgusting” person.

“Politics can do strange things to demented people,” Trump told rallygoers in October. “Now I hired Whoopi to work for me as a comedian, before this stuff – a long time ago – and I went, and I’m not particularly shy about what I hear; her mouth was so dirty, she was so filthy, dirty, disgusting, half the place was left. I said I would never hire her again.”

Goldberg later fired back at Trump’s comments during an episode of The viewas she proudly told the audience, “I’ve always been nasty, and you knew it when you hired me. I was headlining, honey, at your casino, where I might have kept playing if you hadn’t thrown it to the ground. How stupid are you? You hired me four times.”
