After former President Trump\u2019s resounding win in the 2024 presidential election, ABC\u2019s \u201cThe View\u201d expressed deep concerns about the future with the Republican Party poised to control the White House and both chambers of Congress. In today\u2019s segment, co-host Sunny Hostin shared her deep unease about Trump potentially having \u201cunfettered power.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hostin remarked to her fellow panelists, \u201cI don\u2019t know. I\u2019m profoundly disturbed. If you check the New York Times this morning, the headline read, \u2018America makes a perilous choice.\u2019 In 2016, we were uncertain about what a Trump administration would bring, but now we know. And now, he\u2019s likely to have nearly unrestricted power.\u201d<\/p>\n
She continued, expressing her worries for various societal groups. \u201cI\u2019m not just concerned for myself,\u201d she said. \u201cI\u2019m concerned about my social standing, the working class, my mother who\u2019s a retired teacher, our elderly population, their social security, and their healthcare.\u201d Hostin emphasized the Democratic view that Trump\u2019s leadership has resulted in \u201cfewer rights\u201d for people. \u201cI worry about my children\u2019s future, especially my daughter, who now has fewer rights than I did at her age. My father once told me that I was the first in our family to enjoy full civil rights, and now I feel we have regressed,\u201d Hostin said, without providing specific examples of how Trump might reduce citizens\u2019 rights.<\/p>\n Hostin also argued that Trump should have been disqualified from running for office due to the insurrection narrative. \u201cIt disturbs me that the 14th Amendment didn\u2019t prevent someone involved in an insurrection from becoming president. Going forward, the convicted felon box on job applications better be removed, because if you can be President of the United States\u2026\u201d she trailed off. She added, \u201cUnemployment procedures need to change. When I applied for federal jobs, there was a box for convicted felons\u2014that box must go. I believe our healthcare system is now at risk,\u201d she said, listing her numerous concerns for the nation\u2019s future.<\/p>\n Hostin continued, \u201cEconomists predict he will increase the debt by $7.75 trillion. I\u2019m worried about mass deportations, internment camps, and Elon Musk\u2019s warnings of temporary hardship. While the election results surprise me, I\u2019m not entirely shocked.\u201d She concluded, \u201cAs a woman of color, I was hopeful that a mixed-race woman married to a Jewish man could be elected president. This result wasn\u2019t about policy; it was a referendum on cultural resentment in this country.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Watch a clip from the post-election segment below:<\/p>\n
