Joy Behar says the United States will not elect a woman president, repeating and strengthening remarks made during a discussion on “The View.” The comments prompt disagreement from fellow co-hosts as the panel talks about what the country might be willing to elect in future presidential races, including candidates who could be discussed for later elections.
Both outlets describe the exchange as a direct challenge to Behar’s assertion that a woman will never reach the presidency. Fox News frames the moment around Behar’s suggestion that voters will choose other candidates first, while the New York Post emphasizes the identity-politics aspect of her claim and the debate it sparks on the show. In both accounts, the focus is on the on-air argument and the co-hosts’ pushback rather than any policy details or reporting about an external development.
The reports do not indicate an official response from political figures or institutions beyond the discussion among the co-hosts on “The View.”
