Nikki Haley got not one, but two full segments on this morning’s episode of The View. Unfortunately for the 2024 hopeful, both conversations about her were rather unflattering, to put it lightly.
The panel kicked off their first segment by harshly reprimanding Haley for saying Democrats need “a new nominee” instead of President Joe Biden, which she said would be “in the best interest of their party and our country.”
When the show played a clip of Haley’s comments, which she made over the weekend, The View audience loudly booed. And Sunny Hostin, a vocal critic of the South Carolina politician, was quick with her own reply to Haley when she asked, “Is she gonna be around for the next 30 days? She’s not gonna be the nominee, either.”
Hostin added, “She needs to take several seats,” while Ana Navarro agreed, predicting that Haley’s 2024 hopes will soon be dashed in none other than her home state.
“My bet is that in 12 days — that’s when the Republican primary in South Carolina, her home state, is — in 12 days she’s gonna get beaten like a bongo drum in her home state by Donald Trump.”
“Nikki, I’m betting on Joe, not on you,” she added.
Even Alyssa Farah Griffin, who has held out as a Haley supporter for months now, conceded that the former governor won’t be moving into the White House any time soon.
“She won’t be the Republican nominee,” Griffin said. “It’s glaring signs here.”
When it was time for Whoopi Goldberg‘s take, she addressed Haley directly. Listing off a number of Biden’s accomplishments over the past four years, Goldberg asked, “Nikki, what have you done? What have you done, really? What can you point to? … What are you going to do? Nothing.”
In a second segment on Haley — this one focused on her response to Trump after he criticized her husband, who has been absent from her campaign stops as he serves overseas in the Horn of Africa for the South Carolina Army National Guard — the panel once again took shots at the presidential hopeful.
Haley said Trump questioning her husband’s whereabouts was “insulting” to military members and families, but Goldberg wasn’t having it. “You didn’t care that he mocked Gold Star families,” she said, accusing Haley of a “non-answer.”
Meanwhile, Navarro said Haley “stood by” Trump when he ridiculed John McCain, and also mentioned the one-term president’s 2016 attack on the Khan family, whose son died in Iraq.
“If you didn’t speak up and act up and stand up then, shut up now!” she exclaimed.
While The View previously extended an invite to Haley to join them at the Hot Topics table, we have a feeling today’s chats could have scared her away for good.
The View airs weekdays at 11/10c on ABC.
