On Monday’s broadcast of The View, the hosts wondered how Democratic candidates could better campaign as the midterm elections approach.
“Is this because the media isn’t focused on the accomplishments… where is the disconnect?” host Whoopi Goldberg asked, noting that many don’t think President Joe Biden’s actions are enough.
Host Sunny Hostin agreed that there is a “list of accomplishments of this administration.”
OBAMA IS RIGHT: DEMOCRATS’ ANTI-TRUMP FIXATION IS KILLING THEM
However, fellow host Alyssa Farah Griffin pushed back, explaining that voters are focused on paying for necessary goods. “People aren’t feeling it,” she said.
According to Goldberg, “the party that’s in power put together a fix of the country after four years of [Trump], I mean, and they kind of fixed a whole bunch of stuff, and now people are saying, well, that’s not good enough … That might not be good enough that you fixed everything. We want something different.”
The ladies then reacted to former President Barack Obama’s advice to Democrats to spend less time on their opponents’ rhetoric, and focus on the issues affecting voters.
Griffin noted that former President Donald Trump is not on the Nov. ballot and that traditionally midterms are a referendum on the current administration.
Host Ana Navarro disagreed with the idea that Trump is not on the ballot, claiming that Trump-endorsed candidates across the country act as his proxies.
“[Obama] ran against john McCain. He didn’t run against a twice-impeached insurrectionist” Navarro said. “I don’t know how you ignore Donald Trump.”
“It’s very hard to not be angry and outraged,” she added.

Hostin chimed in that “people are concerned about how they’re going to put food on the table,” agreeing with Obama.
