“The View” co-hosts on Thursday welcomed President Biden's return to Donald Trump after a grueling campaign that focused largely on the president-elect's threat to democracy. We discussed what to do.
“I understand why so many Americans didn't heed warnings from me and others about our concerns about Donald Trump. What they see is Joe Biden. Because it's the political season where people say they're fascists… They think, 'It's like WWE, they.' It's going to be crazy, but it's all fake and they shake hands. Probably. ”And some members of the public looked at this and said, “Okay, this was completely exaggerated.'' ’” said co-host Alyssa Farrar Griffin, a former Trump aide who voted for Harris. “Did he say that just to win over Trump or to scare people?”
Trump and Biden met at the White House on Wednesday to discuss the transition to the Trump presidency. The two shook hands and exchanged pleasantries at the White House, talking for hours and even posing for photos together outside.
Co-host Sarah Haines said, “This is what you do. You show up, you shake hands, you prove that democracy is alive and well. That's what the voters decided. You show up. and ignore it.” “A lot of people are having these conversations, and I can tell you that the fake anger of, 'This is normalizing' is gone.”

“I certainly looked at it that way because I didn't like the visual of a convicted felon sitting near the fireplace in the White House,” co-host Sunny Hostin said. Ta. “I think I agreed with Biden when he said he was a convicted felon with the ethics of a wild cat.”
But Hostin praised Biden as a “statesman” and said he was setting an example for the next president.
“That doesn't work,” Hostin added.
