“The View” host Whoopi Goldberg admitted during Tuesday’s broadcast of the midday talk show that she used her platform on ABC News to help spread Democratic talking points.
Goldberg and her cohosts spent a good part of the show sparring with Stephen A. Smith, who argued that Democrats so far appear to be learning all the wrong lessons from their losses in the 2024 election cycle.

Smith argued that the 2024 election was not so much about President Donald Trump and the Republicans “winning” as it was about the Democrats losing because they couldn’t get a handle on a message that resonated with the American people.
“It’s not about him winning. It was an indictment against the Democratic Party and what the Democratic Party was offering the American citizens,” he said. “We might sit up here and talk about, hey, you should be a party for the working class, which the Democratic Party was once known for — they’re not known for that right now. Why? Because their message was catering towards others and towards other issues.”
“The forgot about the people that brought them there, that elevated the Democratic Party to what it was over these last few decades. That’s why they lost. He didn’t win, the Democrats lost,” Smith insisted.
“Let’s remind people what those issues were,” Goldberg replied. “Making sure that families had what they need … making sure stuff is there. Making sure that the America we all grew up in, where you could come and be whoever you were supposed to be or want to be, you still have that right.”
“All these things are the things the Democrats have always said, but now we have a guy who’s in who says you know, I’m gonna bring down the price of eggs, but first I’m gonna cut all these jobs,” Goldberg continued. “And I’m not gonna see why they need to be cut, I’m just gonna cut them … that’s what he’s doing.”
“You’re talking about what he’s doing,” Smith pushed back. “But before you brought that up, you brought up the message that the Democratic Party was disseminating. I’m challenging you on that. That is not what they were doing.”
“Oh, yes, it was. I was here. We did it!” Goldberg exclaimed.
