Since Trump’s election victory, “The View” has faced scrutiny over its anti-Trump stance, with critics wondering if the show will shift its tone. According to a Fox News Digital insider, no changes are planned.
The co-hosts, including Republicans Ana Navarro and Alyssa Farah Griffin, expressed disappointment over Trump’s win against Vice President Kamala Harris, whom they all supported. Recent reports have questioned whether “The View” would add pro-Trump voices, but an ABC insider denies any scramble, calling such claims “not accurate.”
“There is definitely a network-wide push and sense of responsibility to give a voice to the 75 million people who voted for Trump. But ‘The View’ didn’t have a pro-Trump voice for the entirety of his first presidency,” the ABC employee told Fox News Digital. “Meghan McCain and Abby Huntsman were both loyal conservatives, but both expressed that they didn’t personally support Trump. It’s no different this time around. But expect to see Trump officials invited on in 2025.”
Meghan McCain, who served as “The View’s” conservative voice from 2017-2021, often clashed with her liberal co-hosts in defense of conservative causes, though she and former co-host Abby Huntsman never supported Trump. Recently, McCain criticized ABC News for not including a pro-Trump voice on “The View,” especially after Trump’s popular vote victory.
“If your entire panel voted for Kamala Harris, it is not representative of America,” McCain told Fox News Digital. “There’s millions and millions and millions of conservative women in America who are looking to that voice to represent them. And clearly, ABC has just given up on the very notion that conservative women exist. ‘The View’ is under the blanket of ABC News. How is the Trump administration expected to have any kind of trust or give access to a network who doesn’t even care enough about their voters to make sure it’s represented on their women’s daytime show?”
McCain elaborated that she finds the show intolerant to conservatives, adding: “They disrespect and find conservative people, particularly conservative women, intolerable traitors to your gender. So they’ll make it so hostile for you that people don’t want to be there, and so I also think that’s another reason why a conservative woman isn’t there, because the hosts wouldn’t be able to handle it. And trust me, I know what I’m talking about.”
