*ABC executives are reportedly in “panic mode” to find pro-Trump voices for “The View” to counter the predominantly anti-Trump viewpoints of current hosts.
According to The New York Post, insiders claim the network is seeking a conservative panelist for the popular daytime talk show, which features outspoken liberals like Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar, alongside moderate Republicans Ana Navarro and Alyssa Farah Griffin. This push reflects ABC’s response to what some execs see as an underestimation of pro-Trump sentiment across the country.
“The View is facing pressure from higher-ups,” the source said. “Viewers can expect some major changes including bringing in new panelists that can bring in a pro-Trump perspective.”
The insider added, “Everyone on ‘The View’ endorsed Kamala Harris. They lost. They are out of touch with America.”
“For a show about different perspectives, ‘The View’ doesn’t seem to have any when it comes to Trump. ABC bosses don’t want to alienate the pro-Trump demographic.”

A second source said, “We are trying to sort out how we cover the next 4 years when everyone inside ABC News is on one side,” the person said about the network, home to “Good Morning America” and “World News Tonight.”
“The View is an opinion-based show featuring a diverse panel of women with different points of view – the current panel is clearly resonating with audiences given that the series just had its highest rated episode in more than a decade and hit a 4-year high in total viewers,” an ABC spokesperson told The Post in a statement.
Meanwhile, “The View’s” Sunny Hostin blamed “uneducated white women” for Kamala Harris’ 2024 election loss.
“I think [Trump’s victory] had nothing to do with policy, I think this was a referendum on cultural resentment in this country,” she said in a viral video.
“Black women tried to save this country again, last night… what we do not have is white women, who voted about 52% for Donald Trump — uneducated white women is my understanding. You have Latino men actually, voting more for him,” Hostin added.
