Known for presenting some of the most outlandish viewpoints on television, on Tuesday, the numerous hosts of The View decided to discuss the upcoming 2024 Presidential election as they welcomed Alyssa Farah Griffin, the former White House communications director for the Trump administration, to the show. While Griffin explained that President Joe Biden might not be the best option for the Democratic Party when it came to the Presidential election, host Sunny Hostin suggested that not only was Florida Governor Ron DeSantis a “fascist” but that Vice President Kamala Harris and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg would destroy whoever the GOP picked. 

While Whoopi Goldberg harped on who the Republicans would pick as their candidate, Hostin declared, “I hope it’s not DeathSantis over in Florida, because I think he’s a fascist.  think he handled COVID miserably, I think he is a fascist and a bigot.” Although just an opinion, Joy Behar claimed that Hostin was making some good points. 

Having the support of her fellow host, Hostin continued with an attack on former President Donald Trump. “If the former twice-impeached disgraced president thinks he’s such a young spring chicken, I mean, he’s going to be 78 when Joe Biden is 81. And so I don’t like this ageism argument. I do think there are plenty of Democrats that have tons of verve and energy. I like Gavin Newsom because he’s really pretty to look at and I think he does a great job in California.”

After being asked if she believed they could really win, Hostin replied, “Well, I would vote for them. I hope this country is ready for something like that. I think the brain power alone would just obliterate Trump or DeathSantis.”

Although the hosts on The View might believe the Democrats have a chance at remaining in the White House, numerous polls have not only shown the GOP gaining heavy ground in the 2022 midterm elections, but Governor DeSantis has become a key member within the Republican Party thanks to his stance on parental rights and COVID-19.
