Whoopi Goldberg of 'The View' Campaigns for Democrats in the Midterms: 'Our Lives Literally Depend on This' (VIDEO)
The Gateway Pundit ^ | September 8, 2026 | Mike LaChance

The View came back from a summer hiatus this week and dove head first into campaigning for the Democrats in the 2026 midterms.

Among the conversations on the show today were, invoking the 25th Amendment on President Trump, and voting for the Democrats because, according to host Whoopi Goldberg, 'our lives literally depend on this.'

This type of open electioneering for one side is why The View has come under a microscope with the FCC. ABC News is not supposed to do this, but they allow The View to do it all the time.

Transcript via NewsBusters:

BEHAR: Let me ask you, you say the emperor had no clothes what if he took all his clothes off?

FARAH GRIFFIN: People would tell him he looks great and he's in great shape.

BEHAR: If he took all his clothes off and started running around the pool. Would they get him out then?

HOSTIN: 25th Amendment!

WHOOPI GOLDBERG: All of these things, all of these things are in our hands.

BEHAR: Vote, vote.

GOLDBERG: This is what we can tell you, if you want to see change, you got to make the change. It doesn’t matter your color. It doesn’t matter if your a Democrat or Republican, if you want change, you got to get out there and make it happen.

And you got to find every way that you can to vote. Don’t cheat. I don’t remember the last time we’ve ever had cheating in voting. We never had these conversations.

BEHAR: It’s not true.

GOLDBERG: But here’s the deal. This is now on all of us, every one of us, doesn’t matter your color, doesn’t matter your sex, you want it to change, you’re the only one that can do it.

HOSTIN: How many ds do we have?

NAVARRO: 56 days.

GOLDBERG: 56 days. Find out where you can vote and help your elders get to the places to vote. Help everybody you can to get out this vote because our lives literally depend on this. We’ll be right back.

Here’s the video:

This is not a news program.

It’s a Democrat get-out-the-vote operation.

Definitely is. Of course Democrats have to have a no kings March on October 17. They’re using it to get voters to vote early. Not sure how many states will be early voting October 17, but I’m sure they’ll be quite a few of them.

How can Democrats, in and of themselves, invoke the 25th Amendment? Whatever action is taken, has to involve the President’s own Cabinet and the Vice President, and so far as can be determined, none of these bear allegiance to the Democrats.

Or at least, they should not, by now, as Trump has been very serious about vetting those who serve him directly this time around. Much better than the first term, when plenty of RINOs got forced upon him by the “Establishment”.

our lives literally depend on this.

Fear and loathing are about all the Democrats have going these days.

But why they don't fear the socialist in their midst I can't fathom.

Anyone who has even browzed the history of socialist states should be kicking anyone who espouses socialism out on their arse.

All these brave wealthy liberal celebrities and so brave they bravely and heroically call the president and his supporters the worst things bravely keep telling us how much danger they are in from their media empires and venues. So brave. So courageous. Just look at the rounding up of all media whores by Donald, literally Hitler, Trump.

Oh wait.
