The 2024 presidential election dragged on for what seemed like forever and was certainly a rollercoaster of emotions for Democrats. During all that time, the liberal ladies of ABC’s The View had made several proclamations and predictions about the state of the race that didn’t age as well as they hoped.

From high-pitched declarations that “the candidate is Joe” to claims that Democrats would cure America of their Trump amnesia to conspiracy theories of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. trying to “buy” the election, their attempts to manifest a Democratic victory fell flat. But in other instances, their worst fears came to be realized.

Presented here in chronological order are some of The View’s poorly aged and worst manifestations from the 2024 presidential election cycle.

‘The Candidate Is Joe!’ Hostin SCREAMS at View Cast to Shut Up, Get Behind Biden

In responding to comments by former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie (R) about President Biden being “past his sell-by date,” co-host Sunny Hostin lost herself. “You know, I do not like when Republicans tell Democrats what they need to do in their house,” Hostin indignantly chided. “Why don’t Republicans sweep their own Trump trash first in this house and then give Democrats advice.”

She eventually took to screeching about how there wasn’t going to be another Democratic candidate and how Biden was supposedly such a great president:

HOSTIN: There isn’t going to be another candidate! The candidate is Joe Biden!

GOLDBERG: So, suck it up!

HOSTIN: He has run this country well! He has so much to run on! He’s got a better economy, inflation is down, job growth, more job growth than any other president in the past couple of decades!

We all know who eventually became the Democratic nominee, but even in the short term Hostin’s declaration didn’t pan out.

Sunny Hostin Hatches Plot: Ditch Mentally Failing Biden at Democratic Convention

Just three days after telling everyone to shut up and get behind Biden, the release of Special Counsel Robert Hur released his report had Hostin back peddling on Biden’s candidacy.

In the report, Hur explained that he wasn’t going to charge Biden for taking classified documents with him after leaving the Obama administration because of his severe mental decline. With this new information, Hostin was desperately trying to cook up ways to replace him. Interestingly enough, she wanted to ditch him at the convention and install a Gavin Newsom/Kamala Harris ticket (Click “expand”):

HOSTIN: But there is an off-ramp here. And I think one of the off-ramps we need to think about is: once all of the delegates are received, the DNC will be certifying the delegates, right? And the count and Gavin Newsom can be swapped out if Joe Biden decides to step aside.

FARAH GRIFFIN: Or another candidate. It can be done. I think it’s important the public knows.

HOSTIN: I think Gavin Newsom can win.

BEHAR: I know, I don’t think Kamala Harris will be so happy about that and I think the black community might turn.

HOSTIN: I don’t think they’re going turn if she remains the vice president of the United states.

The View Demands Trump Be Censored During Debates Since They Endanger Biden

Long before the infamous debate that led to Biden’s swift removal from the top of the Democratic ticket, The View was demanding that former President Trump be isolated and censored in debates because it would be a danger to Biden’s chances.

Sara Haines suggested that “normally my gut would tell me it’s good for democracy” to allow the candidates to debate freely, but she wanted so one to control Trump’s mic and limit his ability to move around the stage:

The problem is, for the reasons you just spelled out, Donald Trump comes on and without — I wish they would put him in phone booths and cut mics after a certain amount of time, because in addition to the fact-checking, he overtalks, gaslights, and everything else. So, oftentimes, the comparison to Donald Trump makes anyone look less-than on some level. You know?

Little did she know that Biden was his own worst enemy on the debate stage.

Karl Reassures The View: Dems Will Cure America’s ‘Collective Amnesia’ of Trump

Being under the ABC News umbrella, they have easy access to the network’s stable of anti-Trump journalists. So, when chief Washington correspondent Jonathan Karl was on the show in early March, he tried to reassure everyone that the Democrats were going to cure the American electorate of their “collective amnesia” and misremembering of what it was like under a Trump presidency:

There’s been a collective amnesia about what it was like when Trump was president. It’s why I wrote Tired of Winning; I wanted people to be aware of what really happened, particularly at the end

(…)

And look, you do have that collective amnesia that we talked about. Democrats are going to be spending the next eight months making sure people know exactly what Donald Trump is all about. And, you know, he’s been kind of off in the shadows. I mean, there has been coverage of his criminal cases and everything, but we’re at the beginning of a very long presidential campaign, and, again — I’ll say it again. Don’t put much stock into that polls tell you today about how people will vote in November.

The View’s Low IQ Conspiracy Theorists: RFK Trying to ‘Buy’ Election

In March, when Biden was still their nominee, moderator Whoop Goldberg and Hostin lived in fear of RFK Jr. upsetting the balance of the race. But not in the usual way partisans fear third party candidates nibbling at the edges and costing a candidate. No.

According to them, Kennedy was trying to “buy” the election by picking a billionaire to be his running mate:

HOSTIN: Didn’t he just choose a billionaire vice president? Who can help him get on the ballots in different states in battleground states.

GOLDBERG: Here’s the thing.

HOSTIN: That’s pretty smart.

GOLDBERG: Yeah, it’s one more bad message for folks that says you can buy the election (…) You’re not supposed to be able to buy a message — you’re not supposed to be able to buy an election.

HOSTIN: Buy your way onto a ballot.

GOLDBERG: You’re not supposed to be able to do that.

The View Cheers Debate Limitations: Having an Audience ‘Doesn’t Serve’ Biden

When Biden and Trump finally settled on a pair of debates and the rules, the liberal ladies of The View were excited to hear what some of the decisions; particularly their decision to not have an audience and the mics cut. Hostin actually proclaimed that “Biden clearly has the edge.”

Haines cheered the decision not to have an audience because “it doesn’t serve him” to get their reaction. “It was smart of Biden to get ahead of this by challenging Trump and I think it’s a recognition that they’re neck and neck in the polls,” boasted faux conservative Alyssa Farah Griffin.

Joy Behar also seemed to struggle with understanding that Trump had already agreed to the rules, but repeatedly insisted that he would “stack the audience with Trumpers.”

The View: Biden Needs to Show ‘Vitality’ at Debate, Trump Must Be Sane

In the days before the first infamous debate, Farah Griffin said in order for Biden to look good “he needs to take head on the issue of age and vitality. He needs to show up. He needs to look forceful and commands of facts.” Meanwhile, “Donald Trump needs to appear not crazy…”

Fake Republican Ana Navarro chimed in to hilariously claim that the Trump team’s deposition of Biden as a bumbling, decrepit old man were false and fabricated:

But you know I think Republicans and Trump and his minions have done themselves such a disservice with all of these edited cut and spliced videos that they’re spreading around of Biden seeming lost and decrepit. Because it’s — they’ve made it so they’ve lowered the bar so that if Joe Biden shows up, and doesn’t keel over on his way to the podium, he’s had a good night.

And, you know, and I also think that it’s part of the reason that you now see Trump saying, oh, he’s on drugs. Which, by the way, I can’t believe we have to say this, but it’s patently false. Everything you just saw in that video, there is no evidence for, it’s absolutely false. He’s making it up.

But we all know how that debate turned out.
