It is not every day that The View delivers advice Democrats may actually want to hear. Yet on Friday morning, every co-host reportedly found common ground on President Trump, agreeing that another impeachment campaign would be the wrong priority if Democrats regain control of Congress.
That is quite a plot twist for a famously liberal television panel. The discussion followed former Vice President Kamala Harris advising Democrats not to make impeachment their central mission after the midterm elections. Instead, she urged the party to focus on governing. Apparently, even Washington’s favorite political rerun is starting to look stale.
Fox News reported that the co-hosts broadly agreed impeachment would be a poor use of Democratic time and political capital. Their reasoning differed, but their conclusion was remarkably consistent. Ana Navarro was especially direct, saying she was completely against another impeachment effort targeting President Trump. She argued that Congress has other tools available, including investigations, oversight and attempts to hold administration officials accountable.
Navarro also raised the practical issue that often disappears when Washington gets swept up in impeachment fever: President Trump would still be president. That detail can be inconvenient for people planning a legislative strategy built around pretending the executive branch has been switched off.
Sunny Hostin said Democrats should focus instead on House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries’s governing plan. Sara Haines made the case that lawmakers should put policies up for votes and show voters they are doing something tangible. Her message was straightforward:
“Show the people that you’re putting up policy, that you’re taking things to vote. That you are actually acting for the people that put you there.”
Alyssa Farah Griffin brought the discussion back to affordability and the daily concerns voters have repeatedly told pollsters matter to them. Democratic strategist Dan Turrentine added that neither the Senate math nor public sentiment supported another impeachment drive.
TheWrap summarized Navarro’s broader argument as a choice between producing results and staging another doomed proceeding. A Democratic Congress could pass bills, create a public record and force clear choices. But legislation would still require the president’s signature. TheWrap also noted that Navarro distinguished between another attempt to remove President Trump and possible action against cabinet officials.
The constitutional math makes the problem even more obvious. The House can impeach by majority vote, but conviction in the Senate requires two-thirds of senators present. Even if Democrats captured a narrow Senate majority, they would still be far short of removing President Trump without substantial Republican support.
That leaves Democrats with a familiar choice. They can spend another term generating hearings, cable-news segments and political drama with no realistic path to the result, or they can work on prices, jobs, public safety, the border, energy and health care. Voters sent lawmakers to do a job, not produce a two-year television special with an ending everyone can already predict.
The View’s message was not an endorsement of President Trump. It was a recognition that governing requires more than opposition slogans and impeachment headlines. If Democrats win power, they will have to show Americans what they intend to accomplish. For once, even The View’s panel seemed to understand that political theater is not the same thing as public service.
