(ProsperNews.net) – In the aftermath of former President Donald Trump’s victory in the 2024 presidential election, the hosts of The View reacted with frustration and disappointment, with cohost Sunny Hostin expressing particular dismay. On Wednesday’s episode, Hostin criticized what she described as the influence of “uneducated white voters”, arguing that this group played a significant role in reelecting Trump over Vice President Kamala Harris.
Hostin shared her view that Trump’s return to office poses a direct threat to the progress made on civil rights and women’s rights. “It’s profoundly disturbing to me,” she said, adding that she fears her daughter may grow up with fewer rights than her generation, and that she herself might lose civil rights her family fought for. Hostin attributed Harris’s defeat not to a lack of support among minority communities, but to what she sees as cultural resentment among specific voting groups.
Ana Navarro, another cohost, concurred with Hostin’s analysis, suggesting that factors like racism and sexism contributed to Harris’s loss. “I have no regrets,” Navarro stated, reflecting her steadfast support for Harris.
Cohost Whoopi Goldberg also voiced her frustration, avoiding saying Trump’s name as she has done since his first presidential term. She expressed annoyance at Trump’s mispronunciation of Harris’s name during his campaign and reiterated her commitment to ignoring him personally, despite his return to the presidency.
Alyssa Farah Griffin, a Republican on the panel who supported Harris, offered a different perspective. Griffin argued that the Democrats may have leaned too heavily on identity politics, which she believes turned off some potential voters.
The discussion ended with Goldberg and Hostin reflecting on what they saw as Harris’s nearly flawless campaign. “Aside from buck naked dancing on top of the table, I don’t know what else she could have done,” Goldberg remarked, implying that Harris and her team had done all they could. Hostin agreed, concluding that Harris’s campaign had worked hard to win but faced insurmountable cultural divides.
The hosts’ reactions encapsulate the deep divide and strong emotions stirred by the 2024 election, revealing varied viewpoints on why Harris was unable to secure enough votes to overcome Trump’s comeback.
