ABC is attempting to bring on an additional conservative host to “The View” and has been interested in Huntsman for a while, the Huffington Post reports. Meghan McCain, daughter of Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., currently is the only constant conservative co-host of “The View”and the network has sought a second conservative voice.
According to a Fox News source familiar with the discussions, Huntsman’s agency “is actually in breach of the contract and is not even in the appropriate time window to shop Abby to another network.”
Huntsman’s agent and ABC did not immediately respond to the Huffington Post when asked for comment.
Huntsman, whose father is U.S. Ambassador to Russia Jon Huntsman, has been with Fox News since 2015 and previously worked for MSNBC and ABC.
