On any other day, all the hosts of ABC&#8217;s midday talk show &#8220;The View&#8221; — save for Republican host <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/thats-not-fairsuch-a-cheap-shot-the-view-blows-up-as-alyssa-farah-griffin-and-kellyanne-conway-clash/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Alyssa Farah Griffin</a> — might have trashed former Vice President <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/report-classified-documents-found-at-former-vp-mike-pences-home-in-indiana/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mike Pence</a> when news broke that he had discovered classified documents in his possession.
But during Wednesday&#8217;s broadcast, the hosts seemed amused and even relieved to hear the news claiming that the reports took some of the sting out of the still-unfolding scandal surrounding President Joe Biden and the multiple classified documents found at his home, in his garage, and at the Penn Biden Center in Washington, D.C.

Whoopi Goldberg opened the conversation, asking with a laugh whether every former president and vice president should be checking their offices and libraries just to be sure they hadn&#8217;t taken anything they shouldn&#8217;t have.
Sunny Hostin was the first to give Pence a pass, arguing that in all of the chaos after the January 6 riot on Capitol Hill, the vice president may have panicked and packed in a hurry.
&#8220;I feel like now every president and vice president is a suspect,&#8221; she said, adding in mocking tones, &#8220;Are the documents in the conservatory with the wrench?&#8221;
Griffin agreed, explaining that Pence had always been extremely careful when she worked for him — even to the point of doing briefings in the Situation Room just in case anything classified might come up.
She went on to say that she believed the chaos of the transition — and a possible staffer error — was likely the reason classified material had gotten into Pence&#8217;s home.
&#8220;So should we be concerned about you? Do you have boxes?&#8221; Goldberg asked Griffin then, getting a laugh.
Goldberg then went on to argue that the news took some of the heat off Biden, saying, &#8220;Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.&#8221;

Hostin concluded by noting that she was a <a href="https://twitter.com/NickFondacaro/status/1618300942364905476" target="_blank" rel="noopener">bit concerned</a> about former President Barack Obama&#8217;s legacy — especially if it were later discovered that he had anything classified in his possession.

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joy-behar" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joy Behar</a> appeared to suggest on Thursday that classified documents found at President Joe Biden’s think tank, his home, and even his garage may have been planted, expressing skepticism that they would mysteriously &#8220;appear&#8221; in time to draw attention away from a probe into former President Donald Trump&#8217;s own handling of secret documents.
Behar joined her co-hosts on ABC&#8217;s &#8220;The View&#8221; to discuss the most recent reports of <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/biden-responds-to-classified-docs-found-at-his-home-were-in-a-locked-garage-as-well-as-my-corvette/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">classified documents</a> — apparently taken from the White House when Biden left the vice presidency — that were discovered first in Biden&#8217;s office at the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement, and then in both his home and his garage.

Whoopi Goldberg began the attack, lashing out at Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) for calling on Attorney General Merrick Garland to <a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/us/classified-documents-bidens-vice-presidency-found-think-tank-cbs-news-2023-01-09/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">appoint a special counsel</a> to investigate — which Garland later did — and claiming that Biden&#8217;s classified documents were completely different than the <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/breaking-merrick-garland-to-name-special-counsel-to-determine-charges-against-trump-report/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">documents discovered</a> in former President Trump&#8217;s Mar-a-Lago home.
&#8220;Let&#8217;s find out what they discover first, and then do whatever needs to be done,&#8221; she said. &#8220;We all know this needs to be investigated, but it is not the same.&#8221;
Sara Haines agreed, arguing that the volume of documents found in each place was enough to show that the two situations were entirely different.

Behar worried that the sudden appearance of classified documents tied to Biden might jeopardize any case that was building against Trump, and she voiced her suspicions: &#8220;You know what I think? I’ve never seen a luckier person than Donald Trump. Just as we&#8217;re this close to getting him, somehow these documents appear!&#8221;
&#8220;Here&#8217;s the thing,&#8221; Alyssa Farah Griffin cut in. &#8220;Biden is wrong to have done this. He was in office for —&#8221;
&#8220;Let&#8217;s find out what this is first. Again, one of the things that gets me crazy is before we know, it&#8217;s already been spun a specific way,&#8221; Goldberg said again, asking how the documents could have been missing for all those years without anyone noticing that they were gone.
&#8220;Because to me, if you are missing classified information, I don&#8217;t mean to laugh, but in my house, if stuff is missing, I know it&#8217;s missing,&#8221; Goldberg said.
&#8220;Does it feel like oppo-research to you? Does it feel like the Republicans are behind it?&#8221; Sunny Hostin asked.
&#8220;It did originally,&#8221; Goldberg admitted, but she said that Biden&#8217;s response had led her to believe that it was more likely an accident.

Jackson and his wife LaTanya Richardson Jackson punctuated the interview — which was supposed to be a promotion of their Broadway show &#8220;The Piano Lesson&#8221; — with a call to get out the vote and support Sen. <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/raphael-warnock-diverted-campaign-funds-to-pay-child-support-report/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Raphael Warnock</a> (D-GA) in his upcoming run-off election, among other things.

Hostin — joined by co-hosts Ana Navarro and Joy Behar — argued that Justice Barrett&#8217;s <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/the-view-host-says-justice-barrett-deserved-a-religious-test-even-though-theyre-illegal/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">personal religious views</a> and associations made it impossible for her to be impartial when religious liberty was in question.

Behar began the segment by describing the case — which involves a woman who wants to post a statement declaring that she will not design wedding websites for same-sex couples because of her beliefs — and claimed that Barrett should recuse herself because the People of Praise group to which she belongs supports traditional marriage as well.
Hostin pointed out that Barrett — like several other justices on the Court — is Catholic, and the rest of the Catholic justices do not recuse themselves either. She went on to suggest that Barrett was especially problematic, however, and lamented the fact that there was no procedure for forcing judges to remove themselves from cases.
Griffin jumped in then, arguing that at some point people have to trust the justices to be professionals and pointing out the fact that Hostin is Catholic and could be impartial if called upon — and Hostin agreed, &#8220;I could be impartial.&#8221;

&#8220;The View&#8221; cohosts admitted they couldn&#8217;t even show the Balenciaga &#8220;fetish themed&#8221; ad on their show Monday during a discussion about the fashion house&#8217;s marketing campaign featuring children holding teddy bears that were wearing bondage gear.
During a panel discussion on the <a href="https://twitter.com/TheView/status/1597292992473309186?s=20&amp;t=dFXgU6DPA8O_zYzIHnRyPg">ABC daytime talk show,</a> Joy Behar talked about how the the fashion company &#8220;is under fire&#8221; for its BDSM-themed ad sexualizing children as her cohosts called them &#8220;distasteful.&#8221; <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/balenciaga-apologizes-for-advertisement-showcasing-minors-holding-bdsm-teddy-bear-purses">Balenciaga</a> has apologized and has blamed the production company, which they are <a href="https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/balenciaga-suing-production-company-25-155314719.html">suing</a>, for the ad.
&#8220;I found this ad campaign particularly distasteful in this moment,&#8221; Alyssa Farah Griffin explained.
&#8220;Yeah,&#8221; <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/the-view-host-claims-jesus-would-be-the-grand-marshal-at-the-pride-parade">Sunny Hostin</a> replied. &#8220;I mean, we can&#8217;t even show the picture because it&#8217;s so distasteful. But what&#8217;s also very distasteful is Balenciaga lately, I mean, their stuff is just ugly. I mean the bag that that little girl is holding is ugly. Do you remember when Kim [Kardashian] was dressed in Balenciaga for the Met Gala.&#8221;
The clip then went to a snap of the reality star covered head to toe in a black outfit, and Hostin remarked that Kardashian &#8220;looked like a bat.&#8221;

&#8220;So they are, I don&#8217;t know what they&#8217;re doing,&#8221; she added. &#8220;I don&#8217;t know if their intent is to be subversive and draw attention to the issues. Or are they just making ugly things.&#8221;
Ana Navarro asked how Balenciaga could now &#8220;sue somebody when they designed a bag for their holiday season.&#8221;
&#8220;The bag is shaped like a teddy bear wearing bondage gear,&#8221; Navarro added. &#8220;Now, it takes hundreds of people in a fashion house like Balenciaga to approve a design. To approve an ad campaign. So, I&#8217;m sorry you guys, I know you&#8217;re trying to cover your a**, but you got bigger problems then&#8230; you got to look inside your house, because you&#8217;ve got people who are not doing their job well. Who have no damn common sense.&#8221;
At one point, the cohosts talked about how Kardashian has since spoken out about the ad and said it might be time to re-evaluate her relationship with the fashion house, as previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/kim-kardashian-slammed-for-statement-over-balenciaga-scandal-there-is-no-grey-area-here">reported</a>.
&#8220;As a mother of four, I have been shaken by the disturbing images,&#8221; Kardashian shared previously.  &#8220;The safety of children must be held with the highest regard and any attempts to normalize child abuse of any kind should have no place in our society — period.&#8221;
&#8220;I appreciate Balenciaga&#8217;s removal of the campaigns and apology,&#8221; she added. &#8220;In speaking with them, I believe they understand the seriousness of the issue and will take the necessary measures for this to never happen again. As for my future with Balenciaga, I am currently re-evaluating my relationship with the brand, basing it off their willingness to accept accountability for something that should have never happened to begin with — &amp; the actions I am expecting to see them take to protect children.&#8221;
The fashion house apologized and is taking legal action against its production company, Hostin noted.  She then shared that the set designer released a statement saying &#8220;everyone&#8221; at Balenciaga was on the shoot&#8221; and &#8220;worked on the edit of every image.&#8221;

&#8220;A lot of conservatives who posted about how much they hate Dr. Fauci that they would rather get COVID than ever test again, let me explain something to you as somebody who’s just come off it again.

&#8220;The reason it didn&#8217;t kill you is because you&#8217;ve been boosted. If you are not boosted, you&#8217;re gonna — you could die. That’s the point,&#8221; Behar said. &#8220;People write on Twitter or someplace, you see? &#8216;Whoopi got it, and she has the vaccinations.&#8217; Yeah, but Whoopi&#8217;s sitting here. She’s not in a casket, thank you.&#8221;
&#8220;And people who are immunocompromised, you know, I have to stay well, so I don’t hurt anybody else. This is how we take care of each other,&#8221; Goldberg continued. &#8220;I don’t understand how a suggestion for making your life perhaps better for the holidays makes people crazy.&#8221;
Co-host Sunny Hostin jumped in then to defend Fauci, claiming that all he had ever wanted to do was help people. &#8220;He&#8217;s spent his entire life saving people&#8217;s lives,&#8221; she said.

Behar was discussing the <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/i-have-to-kill-this-guy-before-he-kills-us-army-vet-says-combat-mode-kicked-in-during-nightclub-shooting/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">shooting</a> — which took place at Club Q, an LGBTQ establishment — with Colorado&#8217;s Democrat Governor Jared Polis, who is the nation&#8217;s first openly gay governor. Her argument was that whatever else set mass shootings apart from each other, the one thing they all had in common was the gun.

<a href="https://dailywire.com/news/joy-behar-suggests-americans-who-are-worried-about-inflation-are-stupid/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joy Behar</a> suggested on Wednesday that she and her co-hosts on &#8220;The View&#8221; might have given a last-minute assist to Pennsylvania Senator-elect John Fetterman (D) after his race against Trump-backed Dr. Mehmet Oz came down to the wire on Tuesday night.
The ABC midday talk show opened with a clip from <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/john-fetterman-defeats-dr-oz-in-pa-senate-race-projection/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fetterman&#8217;s</a> victory speech — in which he announced, &#8220;I will be the next U.S. Senator from Pennsylvania&#8221; — and while Behar seemed to think that she and her co-hosts might have helped to push Fetterman over the line, co-host Whoopi Goldberg said that all the credit belonged to the voters.

Joy Behar gives The View credit for Fetterman&#39;s win and Whoopi claims Americans overcame attempts to &quot;repress the vote.&quot; &quot;People came out from under buildings, they came from helicopters, they landed, they decided.&quot; <a href="https://t.co/2qPBb5Kkr0">pic.twitter.com/2qPBb5Kkr0</a>

Goldberg cut away from the clip of Fetterman, pausing while the audience applauded. &#8220;Now, given — yeah,&#8221; she said, trailing off as people began to cheer.
&#8220;I think we helped that one,&#8221; Behar said, but Goldberg pushed back.
&#8220;Well, I mean, this really comes down to the people,&#8221; she said. &#8220;This comes down to the people, the people of the United States made their decisions. They decided who they wanted to be in power.&#8221;
Goldberg went on to suggest that the American people had come out in force to defeat attempts at voter suppression. &#8220;And you know, you can try to repress the vote, but people came out from under buildings, they came from helicopters, they landed, they decided, they voted in huge amounts,&#8221; she said. &#8220;Never, ever, never give up on the American people when it comes to voting, it might not always go your way, but we will come out and do what we&#8217;re supposed to do.&#8221;
&#8220;The View&#8221; hosted Fetterman just days before the election, providing him with a series of <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/sunny-hostin-praises-fetterman-tees-up-attack-on-dr-oz-in-softball-interview/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">softball questions</a> delivered via closed captioning to minimize the impact of his ongoing struggles with auditory processing.
Instead of asking whether they believed he was capable of performing the typical duties of a senator just months after his stroke, they asked whether he&#8217;d been &#8220;transparent&#8221; enough with regard to telling Pennsylvanians how his recovery was going. Co-host Sunny Hostin then set him up with a ready-made attack on Dr. Oz, calling him a &#8220;bully&#8221; for participating in a debate and claiming that Fetterman had proved his worth as a leader simply by showing up.

<a href="http://www.dailywire.com/topic/joy-behar/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joy Behar</a> lashed out at Americans worried about inflation on Thursday, suggesting that they were stupid if they were more worried about inflation than they were about the state of democracy in the United States.

&#8220;GOP candidates&#8217; big messages are blaming Biden for inflation and that Democrats are soft on crime,&#8221; Goldberg began. &#8220;Who knows what&#8217;s resonating now? I&#8217;m so confused by everything that I&#8217;m seeing because you would think — there used to be a way to stamp out the lie, but I guess lying&#8217;s the new &#8216;in.'&#8221;
Joy Behar added her two cents next, arguing that Biden was only failing to resonate with voters because he was &#8220;trying to appeal&#8221; to their intelligence rather than their emotions.
&#8220;What Biden is trying to do, is he&#8217;s trying to appeal to the intelligence of the American voter — by saying, yes, there are problems, we have inflation. By the way, you want to live in a dictatorship, go to Hungary, where it&#8217;s 20% inflation over there,&#8221; Behar argued, suggesting that Republicans were looking at Hungary — a nation that <a href="https://www.hungarianconservative.com/articles/current/hungary-to-decrease-russian-oil-dependency/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">depends on Russia</a> for over 75% of its oil supply — as an example. &#8220;You know, they had this guy Victor Orban speak at CPAC one time and Tucker Carter — Carlson, whatever his name is — he&#8217;s a fan of this dictator.&#8221;
&#8220;This is what we can look forward to with all these Republicans in office, and I think he&#8217;s trying to point that out,&#8221; Behar continued, going on to explain why people should be more worried about the state of democracy than immediate concerns like the ability to heat a home or feed a family.
&#8220;As I always say, inflation fluctuates. Democracy does not. And so, we need to know that. I don&#8217;t want to make a speech, I&#8217;m just saying, I feel like people are not comprehending the seriousness of what is going on,&#8221; she concluded.

Steve Scalise (R-LA) and targeted members of the House Freedom Caucus.
Behar and her co-hosts were discussing politically-motivated violence — in the context of the alleged attack on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi&#8217;s husband Paul — and Behar was clearly puzzled when Republican co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin mentioned the shooting.

&#8220;What is on the rise is political violence,&#8221; Griffin began, adding, &#8220;And I want to say unequivocally, political violence — left, right, center — is wrong. To those in my party who are not calling this out directly, shame on you. This is an 82-year-old man, he&#8217;s being charged with elderly abuse for what he did.&#8221;
&#8220;And really quickly, I was working for the Freedom Caucus when the 2017 congressional baseball shooting took place —&#8221; Griffin continued, but Behar interrupted.
&#8220;What is that?&#8221; she asked.
&#8220;My bosses were actually targeted at the time —&#8221; Griffin continued, only to be interrupted again when co-host Sunny Hostin falsely asserted that Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) was part of the [House] Freedom Caucus.
&#8220;No, it&#8217;s actually just House members,&#8221; Griffin quickly corrected her, adding, &#8220;But Steve Scalise was nearly killed in that shooting.&#8221;
Griffin went on to suggest that Democrats had been better about <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/awful-twitter-leftists-beg-baseball-shooter-finish-emily-zanotti/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">condemning the violence</a> against Republicans than Republicans were about condemning the violence against Paul Pelosi — but she left out the fact that, while Republicans did not blame that shooting on all elected Democrats and even Democratic voters, <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/part-of-the-insurrection-toxicity-msnbc-anchor-tries-to-tie-paul-pelosi-attack-to-january-6th/">media figures</a> and even <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/biden-blames-republicans-for-violent-attack-on-nancy-pelosis-husband/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">President Joe Biden</a> had been quick to blame all Republicans and their rhetoric for the attack on Paul Pelosi.
&#8220;The difference is every Democrat roundly condemned it and they rooted for his recovery,&#8221; she said. &#8220;What is happening, we should be ashamed of. The fact that we can&#8217;t unequivocally call out wrongdoing, this is — I fear it&#8217;s going to get worse before it gets better. I pray that that is wrong, but, I mean, our thoughts and prayers are with Pelosi.&#8221;

Joy Behar and Sunny Hostin joined a number of liberal journalists who claimed that Pennsylvania Senate candidate Dr. Mehmet Oz (R) was &#8220;bullying&#8221; Democrat <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/watch-fetterman-yells-at-oz-during-closing-statements/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">John Fetterman</a> during their <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/hi-goodnight-everybody-even-liberals-admit-fettermans-debate-performance-was-abysmal/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">televised debate</a> on Tuesday evening.
Behar and Hostin joined their co-hosts on ABC&#8217;s midday talk show &#8220;The View&#8221; to recap the Pennsylvania Senate debate, and they both argued that Oz had essentially taken the opportunity to beat up on the obviously struggling Fetterman — who has been suffering from some auditory processing issues since his <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/ableist-toward-the-disability-community-john-fettermans-wife-tells-nbc-to-apologize-for-asking-about-his-stroke/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">stroke</a> earlier this year.

Although Behar had previously mocked Georgia Senate candidate Herschel Walker (R),  suggesting that he suffered from brain damage — and claimed just one day earlier that Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) &#8220;looked like he was having a stroke&#8221; when he did not answer a question about his 2024 prospects — she quickly laid into anyone who criticized Fetterman&#8217;s debate performance.
Noting that Republicans were running ads showing clips of Fetterman from the debate, Behar slammed Oz for allowing that and claimed he was somehow violating his Hippocratic oath as a physician.
&#8220;What kind of a doctor is behind that? Aren&#8217;t you supposed to do no harm?&#8221; she asked. &#8220;It&#8217;s so un-empathetic to the guy, you know?&#8221;
Hostin agreed, claiming that Oz had seen an opportunity and taken it at the expense of Fetterman&#8217;s health.
&#8220;It was really strange to me that he chose to bully a stroke victim, you know, he obviously was bullying him,&#8221; she said, going on to praise Fetterman for being willing to stand up in public and show his weakness. &#8220;It takes real bravery to allow people to see your weakness.&#8221;
Hostin went on to claim that Fetterman did not have any <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/neurologist-who-watched-fetterman-debate-casts-doubt-on-prospect-for-further-recovery/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">cognitive issues</a>.
Hostin and Behar were not the only ones attempting to spin Fetterman&#8217;s obvious difficulties into an attack on Oz — a number took to Twitter to accuse the Republican candidate of capitalizing on his opponent&#8217;s struggle for political gain.
Pat Cunnane, who previously worked for former President Barack Obama, said, &#8220;Put the analysis to the side for a second: What John Fetterman is doing right now in the midst of his recovery — so publicly, on the same stage as a smirking TV doctor — is remarkably brave.

<a href="http://www.dailywire.com/topic/whoopi-goldberg/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Whoopi Goldberg</a> dismissed the idea that Democrats were misreading the political &#8220;mood&#8221; in Florida, insisting to her co-hosts on ABC&#8217;s &#8220;The View&#8221; that &#8220;nobody knows&#8221; who will come out on top in the Sunshine State.
Goldberg opened the show with a clip of Governor <a href="http://www.dailywire.com/topic/ron-desantis/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ron DeSantis</a> (R-FL) debating Democratic challenger Charlie Crist, after which she and her co-hosts mocked and criticized DeSantis for letting kids return to school after the COVID lockdowns.

Sunny called him &quot;robotic&quot;/&quot;wooden&quot; and calls his pressers &quot;carefully crafted (despite him taking on a hostile liberal press). She also decries keeping kids in school. They suggest it&#39;s not common knowledge that he wants to run for president, and suggests he&#39;s tricking people. <a href="https://t.co/4nznjmeDLR">pic.twitter.com/4nznjmeDLR</a>

Co-host Joy Behar began by claiming that DeSantis did not have &#8220;charisma,&#8221; saying, &#8220;When Crist said are you going to run in 2024, he looked like he&#8217;s ah — he&#8217;s having a stroke, he can&#8217;t even answer that simple question.&#8221;
Behar&#8217;s comments come just a week after the hosts of the ABC midday talk show defended Pennsylvania Senate hopeful John Fetterman (D) — who suffered a stroke earlier this year and has since struggled with auditory processing — and then immediately <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/the-view-hosts-mock-herschel-walker-suggest-maybe-he-has-brain-damage/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">mocked</a> Georgia Senate candidate Herschel Walker (R), asking whether he had suffered a stroke.
Co-host Sunny Hostin — who has repeatedly referred to the popular Florida governor as &#8220;<a href="https://dailywire.com/news/watch-sunny-hostin-keeps-repeating-death-santis-over-and-over-again/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">DeathSantis</a>&#8221; — called his performance at Monday&#8217;s debate &#8220;wooden&#8221; and claimed that his press appearances, where he often <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/does-it-say-that-in-the-bill-ron-desantis-rebukes-reporter-for-pushing-dont-say-gay-narrative/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">spars with reporters</a>, were &#8220;carefully crafted.&#8221;
New Republican co-host <a href="http://www.dailywire.com/topic/alyssa-farah-griffin/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Alyssa Farah Griffin</a> suggested that perhaps Democrats were not doing a good job reading the room in Florida, quickly provoking Goldberg&#8217;s ire.

Whoopi decries talk about DeSantis winning Florida and doesn&#39;t want to hear a word about it or any predictions of it.&quot;Until you can say that you can see the crystal ball, nobody knows who&#39;s going to win the state of Florida. The Real Clear Politics average has DeSantis up 10. <a href="https://t.co/TaJJvbz9ZJ">pic.twitter.com/TaJJvbz9ZJ</a>

&#8220;Florida is where Democrats may be misreading the political mood more than anywhere,&#8221; Griffin said, going on to explain that DeSantis was very popular among Hispanic voters — many of whom even approved of his efforts to send illegal migrants to sanctuary states.
&#8220;Until you can say that you can see the crystal ball, nobody knows who&#8217;s going to win the state of Florida,&#8221; Goldberg objected. &#8220;Nobody knows, I mean that&#8217;s the thing. I always — I say this to everybody for a reason. Because I feel like it is the responsibility for us to remind everyone that it&#8217;s your job to get out and vote in your state.&#8221;
DeSantis, according to <a href="https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2022/governor/fl/florida_governor_desantis_vs_crist-7324.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">RealClearPolitics</a>, has a healthy lead on Crist and is projected to retain his office in November&#8217;s election. The polling average gives him a ten-point lead on Crist, and the two most recent polls show DeSantis leading Crist by more than twice the margin of error.
