Whoopi Goldberg, one of the six co-hosts, made the announcement on Monday, adding theatrical flair to the news. “I have some wonderful news… a historic announcement,” Goldberg said.
“This Wednesday, we are honored to have the sitting president of the United States, Joe Biden, on The View. Let us not forget, he is still president of the United States of America.”
This upcoming appearance will bring all six co-hosts—Goldberg, Joy Behar, Sara Haines, Ana Navarro, Sunny Hostin, and Alyssa Farah Griffin—together for a panel discussion with Biden, as per a report by TV Insider.
Biden’s history with The View
This will not be Biden’s first time on The View. In 2017, during the early months of Donald Trump’s presidency, Biden appeared on the show. However, this time, the political context is quite different.
Biden’s return comes as he continues to lead the country through significant challenges, and his appearance is expected to draw considerable attention from both political analysts and the public.Also Read : The Lincoln Lawyer Season 3: New trailer unveils challenges for Mickey Haller | Release date & castThe View has previously hosted sitting presidents, with Barack Obama becoming the first to appear on the show in July 2010. Obama made another appearance in 2012, accompanied by then-First Lady Michelle Obama. Biden’s appearance will be a continuation of this tradition of bringing current national leaders to the platform.
Discussion on the 2024 Election
The timing of Biden’s appearance is particularly notable as discussions surrounding the 2024 election ramp up. Earlier in the summer, debate had stirred among the The View co-hosts over Biden’s decision to run for re-election.
While co-hosts like Goldberg and Navarro supported Biden’s choice to continue his campaign, others, such as Haines and Griffin, expressed concerns, suggesting that Biden should reconsider his decision after his debate with Donald Trump.
