The cohosts of The View started the hour on Wednesday’s (May 20) show with a “Hot Topic” discussion of the recent election results in multiple primaries, wherein Trump-endorsed candidates defeated incumbent Republicans who had been critical of him on key issues (namely, Thomas Massie, who supported the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files, and Bill Cassidy, who voted to impeach Trump for the January 6th insurrection).
Alyssa Farah Griffin, however, wanted to talk about another Trump decision that could have major implications for the 2026 general election in November.
