ABC Denies Rumors "The View" Will Add Pro-Trump Panelist

A spokesperson for ABC has denied rumors that �The View� is hunting for a
pro-Trump panelist to help balance the one-sided views that have helped
define the show.

�This report is not true,� publicity director Lauri Hogan told The Daily Wire
in a statement. ��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.�

The denial comes days after a report from The New York Post featuring claims
from an unnamed source that ABC execs were scrambling to add pro-Trump
individuals to some content following the president-elect�s landslide victory
over Democrat nominee Kamala Harris this month. One show mentioned in
particular was �The View,� which currently includes six women known for their
disdain of President-elect Trump.

�The View is facing pressure from higher-ups,� the source told The Post.
�Viewers can expect some major changes including bringing in new panelists
that can bring in a pro-Trump perspective.�

�Everyone on �The View� endorsed Kamala Harris. They lost. They are out of
touch with America,� the insider added. �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.�

Conversations on �The View� are almost always dominated by far-Left
viewpoints from co-hosts like Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin, and
Sara Haines. Token Republican voices have been from anti-Trumpers, such as
Ana Navarro and Alyssa Farah Griffin.

Hostin blamed �uneducated white voters� for Trump�s win on the first episode
of �The View� following the election, claiming that racism had played a major
role in the 2024 presidential campaign. She said she was �profoundly
disturbed� over Kamala�s defeat.

Co-host Navarro agreed that racism and sexism drove the results. Meanwhile,
Goldberg said that even though Trump had won, she�s not giving up her former
vow never to utter his actual name.

�He�s now the president. I�m still not going to say his name. That�s not
going to change,� she said. Goldberg also claimed, �Too many people that I
know died trying to vote.�

ABC may have denied the rumors of adding a Trump-friendly panelist to �The
View,� but if that changes, at least two Daily Wire podcast hosts have
offered to join the show. In response to the original Post article, Ben
Shapiro replied with a �Hunger Games� GIF that said, �I volunteer!�

�Am I Racist?� star Matt Walsh also responded to the rumors on X, writing, �I
would be happy to serve my country in this post.�

[I bet they got all sorts of threats from leftists.]
