Sunny Hostin is predicting a big boom in the Democratic party…thanks to none other than President Donald Trump. The View co-host made her bold prediction this morning while discussing remarks made by prominent celebrity democrat George Clooney on Stephen Colbert‘s show this week.
Clooney told Colbert last night (Feb. 18) that he’s accepting the massive loss Democrats suffered at the polls last November, saying, “it didn’t work out, that’s what happens.”
Hostin shared a similar take, telling the panel she’s sitting back and watching what she thinks will happen to Republicans as Trump’s policies take effect.
“You know, I’m starting to think — as I’ve said before — I’m one of the 92% of Black women that voted for Kamala Harris,” Hostin told the table. “And so I’m sort of in a resting place right now, because I voted to save the country, and the country didn’t vote with me, the majority of the country.”
Pointing to her co-host Joy Behar — who earlier in the show had compared Elon Musk and Trump to two turtles in an aquarium eating each other — Hostin then said, “I’m kind of in your phase that you just described, the two turtles phase.”
Behar asked, “Let them eat each other?” and Hostin replied, “Yeah, I think the Republicans and the people that voted for Trump, and they also voted for co-President Musk, now they realize that the forest rangers just got fired, somebody in the foreign service, his wife couldn’t get medivac-ed because they got fired, all the federal workers are getting fired.”
She then predicted, “I think that they will turn on the Republican party and they will come back to the Democratic party.”
Earlier on today’s show, the panel discussed the growing concern around Musk’s role in the White House, but co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin — a former Trump staffer herself — said she thinks Musk’s unpopularity amongst the American people is all part of Trump’s plan.
“I think he loves that the wealthiest man on the planet is essentially an unpaid staffer for him,” she said, while predicting that Trump “is going to scapegoat” him over an unpopular policies.
The View airs weekdays at 11/10c on ABC.
