Jonathan Karl was the featured guest on Tuesday’s (October 28) edition of The View to dig into the “Hot Topics” of the day alongside cohosts Whoopi Goldberg, Sara Haines, Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin, and Alyssa Farah Griffin.
The ABC News chief Washington correspondent, who was also promoting his new tell-all about Donald Trump‘s 2024 campaign, titled Retribution, revealed some fascinating behind-the-scenes accounts of key moments. He also answered Haines’ question about Trump and why he’s been playing into the concept — as floated by his former strategist Steve Bannon — that he might run for a third term in 2028.
