Following Donald Trump's victory in the 2024 presidential election, The View hosts expressed profound disappointment, with Sunny Hostin and Whoopi Goldberg vocalizing their concerns. Hostin criticized what she perceived as a 'referendum on cultural resentment' and expressed worry over the future of civil rights and social security under Trump's leadership, citing concerns for her daughter's rights and the working class. Goldberg reiterated her refusal to say Trump's name, highlighting her disapproval of his re-election. Despite the emotional responses, Joy Behar noted the importance of respecting the democratic process, although she disagreed with the outcome. Trump secured his win with a decisive popular vote and significant electoral support, prompting Kamala Harris to concede the election.
