Whoopi Goldberg refused to say Donald Trump‘s name on The View following his victory in the 2024 presidential election.Goldberg and her fellow hosts Sara Haines, Sunny Hostin, Ana Navarro, Joy Behar and Alyssa Farah Griffin came together on the November 6 episode of the ABC talk show to discuss the result.

All six women voted for Kamala Harris at the election, including outspoken Republican and former Trump aide Griffin.“So what happened last night?” Goldberg asked her co-hosts while refraining from using Trump’s name. “He’s the president.

I’m still not going to say his name. That’s not going to change.”“I’m profoundly disturbed,” Hostin said about the result. “If you look at The New York Times this morning, the headline was ‘America Makes a Perilous Choice.’ I think in 2016 we didn’t know what we would get from a Trump administration.

We know now. We know now he will have almost unfettered power.“I worry not about myself actually. I don’t worry about my station in life.
