The hosts of “The View” — Whoopi Goldberg, Sara Haines, Sunny Hostin, Ana Navarro, Joy Behar and Alyssa Farah Griffin — came together on the Nov. 6 episode of the ABC talk show to react to Donald Trump’s victory in Kamala Harris in 2024 presidential election. All six women voted for Harris, even outspoken Republican and former Trump aide Griffin.

“So what happened last night?” Goldberg asked her co-hosts without saying Trump’s name. Later she told them, “He’s the president. I’m still not going to say his name. That’s not going to change.”

“I am deeply disturbed,” Hostin said of the election results. “If you look at the New York Times this morning, the headline was, ‘America Makes a Dangerous Choice.’ I don’t think in 2016 we knew what we were going to get from a Trump administration. We know now. We now know that he will have virtually unlimited power. Actually, I don’t worry about myself. I don’t worry about my position in life. I worry about the working class. I worry about my mother, a retired teacher. I worry about our elderly and their social security and health care. I worry about the future of my children, especially my daughter, who has fewer rights than me.”

“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 added. “It had nothing to do with policy. This was a referendum on cultural resentment in this country.”

Behar has long been one of Trump’s most outspoken opponents, but her takeaway from the 2024 presidential election was that “the system worked.”

“We live in a democracy. People spoke. This is what people wanted,” she says. “I strongly disagree with the decision that Americans have made, but I am very hopeful that we have a democratic system in this country. We have to appreciate it. We should love it. We must protest when the situation arises that we must protest, and I am sure it will happen. I’ve been there before with Nixon. We have a country and we can preserve it.”

Navarro added, “I don’t regret it. I worked incredibly hard to elect the first Black, Asian female president. History slipped through our fingers again. I worked very hard to ensure that Donald Trump would not become president. But today, unlike Donald Trump and his followers, I recognize that he won. I hope the best for our country. I make a promise to our LGBTQ, to our immigrants, to our elders, young girls and women: we will not stop fighting. We can be sad today. Today we can be sad. Tomorrow we will get up and continue.”

Haines echoed that sentiment, telling viewers, “Let’s keep fighting for the people we care about. I still feel optimistic because I stand arm in arm with people who agree with me.”

During the episode of “The View” that aired on Election Day, Griffin announced that she voted for Harris and revealed that it was the first time in her life that she had ever supported a Democratic candidate for president. Commenting on Trump’s victory the next day, Griffin said people often forget about “rural America.”

“The working class feels abandoned. They feel like the powerful, the elite only cares about them and their power. He talked to them,” Griffin said of Trump. “We may not have liked his words, but they worked out for him… We have to lower the temperature, the name-calling, the demonizing. If they want to do it, they can do it. It is a moment to listen to the voters.”

Former ‘View’ host Meghan McCain shouted ABC shortly before the episode aired in which every seat was filled with a Harris voter, with has voted or is simply not rejected by his supporters to explain to America why he is still so popular.

The hosts of “The View” have been outspoken against Trump throughout the election season, so much so that Trump was at a campaign event in Reading, Pennsylvania, last month when he called them “really stupid people.” He then recalled that he once hired Goldberg for a comedy event at one of his casinos, but he criticized her performance for being “nasty dirty” and “disgusting.”
