The View Cheers Debate Limitations, Having an Audience ‘Doesn't Serve’ Biden

Shortly before ABC’s The View went to air, word was finally announced that both the Biden and Trump campaigns agreed to two debates; one with CNN in June and one in September with ABC. But it was two demands made by Team Biden that had captured most everyone’s interest: no audiences and mics would be cut off. Of course, the liberal ladies of The View cheered the rules with one saying the quiet part out loud and admitting that an audience would hurt President Biden.

After spending several minutes bragging about being at a Disney party the previous night, the cast finally got around to talking about the debate. And the first thing they did was share how relieved they were that Biden’s demands were agreed to:

WHOOPI GOLDBERG: Here's what I really appreciate. Biden is saying, no audience.

JOY BEHAR: Good.

GOLDBERG: And that the mics must be cut once -

SARA HAINES: I love this.

GOLDBERG: -- the time to answer the question has expired.

SUNNY HOSTIN: Yes.

[Cheers and applause]
