Recently, Joy Behar, notable figure and co-host on ‘The View’, pleaded with the audience, particularly those leaning Republican, to consider siding with the Democratic Party in the upcoming election to prevent the re-election of former President Trump. This call to action surfaced in the middle of a discussion regarding Liz Cheney, a Republican who notably lent her support to Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign, requesting that other Republicans follow suit and counteract Trump in this electoral cycle.
‘Give it a shot just this once. Cast your vote for the Democrat to safeguard our nation,’ those were the words from Behar. The call from Behar presided over an in-depth conversation on ‘The View’ about the noteworthy Republicans, where even Alyssa Farah Griffin, a co-host on the show, contributed.
In addition to Griffin, Liz Cheney was also revealed to be siding against Trump’s attempt at a second term. Griffin, known for her past work as an aide to Trump, hinted about her forthcoming ‘fireside chat’ in Pennsylvania. The chat would consist of Griffin, Cheney, and several other ex-Trump representatives tossing around the reasons they’ve chosen to shift their alliances.
Griffin, who has never voted Democratic till now, shared a deep concern for Trump’s suitability for office. Moreover, she revealed her upcoming endeavour to the battleground state of Pennsylvania with Cheney and companions, aiming to underscore the thus perceived threats Trump’s re-election could impose on the nation.
This disclosure from Griffin spurred a larger dialogue about the significance of conservatives such as Cheney extending their support to the Democratic Party in this election. As evident from the dialogue, it is rather unusual to see such alignments within the political spectrum.
However, it is commendable for Vice President Kamala Harris to engage in an inclusive approach, stating her willingness to welcome varied voices and opinions into her governance. ‘It’s smart that Kamala Harris is open to having diverse viewpoints in her executive team, even welcoming a Republican into her cabinet,’ stated co-host Sunny Hostin.
This insightful comment piqued the curiosity amongst the panel, leading to speculations if that ‘Republican cabinet member’ could indeed be Cheney. The potential bipartisan collaboration drew mixed reactions, with many viewing it as a progressive step in the direction towards a more integrated and unified political scene.
The talk revolver around cross-party voting led another co-host, Ana Navarro to share her experience of switching allegiances from Republican to Democrat. ‘I cast my vote for Hillary Clinton back in 2016. That was the first time I elected a Democrat and, let me tell you, it was a challenging transition,’ admitted Navarro.
Joy Behar begs on her hands and knees for you to vote for Kamala because she will turn things “back to normal” even though she’s been in office for the last 3.5 years.
