You know things will get tense on The View when they invite a Donald Trump ally to the Hot Topics table. On this morning’s episode of the long-running daytime talk show, Whoopi Goldberg laid into New Hampshire Gov.
Chris Sununu for criticizing the process in which Vice President Kamala Harris became the presumptive Democratic nominee.
As we all know, President Joe Biden dropped out of the 2024 election following calls for a new nominee. He, along with many other high-profile names, endorsed Harris to take his place in the election — which didn’t sit well with Sununu.
“Let’s talk about what’s really going on in the last couple of weeks here. Democrat voters all voted for Joe Biden. And then a couple of elites said, ‘Yeah —‘” he began, before getting cut off by Sunny Hostin, who chimed in, “Well, they voted for Harris too. She was on the ticket.”
Sununu continued, “Yeah, understood. But they voted for Biden to be president. And then it wasn’t like it was sent to the convention and then the delegates had a choice or anything like that.”
However, a deadpan Hostin reminded him that Harris has “2,000 delegates” backing her already.
“Look, three phone calls were made from Schumer and Pelosi. Biden said, ‘I’m in this thing. I’m not leaving.’ A couple of phone calls are made and all of a sudden he’s pushed out,” Sununu said, digging his heels in. “And in 48 hours, all of the delegates aren’t given a choice of other candidates. They’re told, ‘You’re gonna get behind Kamala.’”
That’s what set Goldberg off.
“That’s not actually what happened, but go ahead,” she snarked.
When Sununu asked what other choice Democrats were given besides Harris, Goldberg fired back, “The other choice is decided. She was the best choice. That’s what they decided.”

Sununu continued to press the moderator, asking, “Who’s ‘they’?” But Goldberg wasn’t going down without a fight as she replied, “[Gov. Gavin] Newsom said, ‘I’m not going to challenge this.’ People who would’ve gone in to challenge said, ‘No, we’re not going to challenge her.’”
The Republican politician added that it would be “awful” if his party could suddenly decide to replace Trump with Nikki Haley, despite being her supporter, “because the voters have to decide, not elites.”What do you think? Post a comment.
And just when you thought Goldberg couldn’t be more ticked off with their guest, she shouted, “Stop calling them elites!”
Sununu concluded that he’s a “big believer” that “everyone should vote,” to which Hostin passionately hit back, “They did vote. They voted for Harris as Vice President.”
