The way it was done was wrong however after hearing the details and seeing the energy behind Kamala, I understand that it needed to be done. Jamie R. sent Biden a letter, you all could have gotten together and do this privately and quietly without it getting out the public. Ladies on the View let this be the last time you bringing this up. The party is now united, let's not give the other side things to run on. Let's focus our energy going forward would be on K.Harris meanwhile. We have a lot's of lies to debunk.
I’m very disappointed and disgusted with Schumer Pelosi, and Schiff, they told publicly that Biden was too old to continue, seriously they are no spring chicken themselves. You behaved like a Trumper.
I'm not happy with Schiff and Pelosi. All of them plus Clooney should have kept this private. Biden didn't need to be treated the way he was. I've lost respect for these leaders because of the way they handled this.
agreed...discussions should have been with himself without the public assault
Can it be possible to pick Pres. Biden as VP this time?
80 percent of democrats think biden stepping down was the right move. not a single biden voter upset about this will not vote or vote for someone else. theyre all centrist libs who love the democratic party. you are all already in line and will vote. i held my nose and voted for biden in 2020 after bernie was robbed in the primary. there were far more bernie or busters than there are biden or busters if they even exist.
@DanTC-y3w I second this! The public pressure ultimately contributed to Biden stepping down.
Welp, that's your democrat party. The voters don't choose the nominee. The insiders at the top do. Very sad
Im so disappointed on the questioning in this interview; no pushback on how they acted towards Biden and forced him to “pass the torch”. Interviews need to be more balanced.
That's because the questions are pre-approved by the politician's PR people. Their literal attitude is "don't ask us difficult questions or we don't come on". I work in broadcasting, trust me I know.
@@liukin95 I’m sure this is the case; but, can we agree this weakness the objectivity, trustworthiness of programs like this? And, how come they ask uncomfortable questions to those with opposing views, and not to “allies”? Doesn’t the opposite side have PR reps too?
@@fabiolawollants5845 I agree with you - but sadly that's how it works currently and I don't see it changing in the future. In regards to your second point, there are politicians who're open to scrutiny, and there are politicians who prefer to control the messaging and often have to negotiate with producers in order for them to come on. I personally hate it, I would prefer to have a politician to come on unconditionally and be open to the questions WE want to ask, but like I said, the government PR machine is a powerful engine that even the media cannot overcome.
@@liukin95 thank you for taking the time to share your experience and thoughts. I hope we eventually move towards a less controlled narrative. (Btw, I wrote weakness instead of weakens..my bad!)
Sunny just asked this question… and made the statement that people feel Biden was pushed publicly, and could’ve been handled privately … did I not just see this?
Congress didn't have to do president Biden the way they did he pisses me off!!
I agree
Are you gonna vote them out or against them?? Nope! So what are you gonna do??
You should be mad that they pretended he was fine the past 4 years.
Me too.....I accept Kamala, but they could of done better.....Very annoying....and honestly, God forbid if she loses......they will truly look like silly rabbits.....smh
Remember though Biden did it because he knows the only way to save this country from Trumps authoritarian fascism Project 2025 . Biden past the torch to Vice President Kamala Harris because he knows she will be the one who can beat Trump. 🔊🗳💙🔵
We're not stupid you kicked him out
You can’t say that! I got suspended for 24 hours from UA-cam and the view for saying that
So disappointed with Schiff & Pelosi. It’s time for them to retire. If Biden is too old so are they. Biden wouldn’t have stepped down if it weren’t for people like them. He didn’t willingly pass the torch he was forced. Adam retire.
Biden isn't too old. He has Dementia. WTF is wrong with you wanna be Rhodes scholars?
I approve this message 👍🏾
😂😂😂
They are so soft. Kids literally couldn't handle an attack line on the nominee during a campaign season. Pathetic.
He’s still young. He’s gonna be a freshman senator for CA next year.
They all should have gone to President Biden first before they went to the outsider, which was the press.
@@vanessacampbell7861 Why do you think Biden was out of the loop? Don't you think there was a plan B? The period between the debate and Biden stepping aside gave everyone a heads up that change was coming and fueled imagination. As soon as the Republican convention was over, the transition was quick and smooth and logical.
Exactly, pretty much pisses me off......
Could have been quieter and may have at first when Biden said all along show me the data (analytics) that I can't win. Governors he met with at first wouldn't have that info. Pelosi would.
How do you know they didn’t?
The way they did it was a disrespectful, clown show. I wish they would put the same energy against Trump !
Biden forced them to go public…..
Oh boo hoo. The Democratic Party did what it had to do. They finally acted like a political party. Practical. Strategic. Ruthless. Deal with it. I want to win.
@@47imagine You want to win even if it means cheating...
@@47imagineexactly! Let’s go!!!
@@jarhead7602 No. I'm against cheating. And if you think what the Democratic Party did was "cheating," you need to learn more about the nominating process.
That’s why if I was in California I would’ve voted for Katie Porter instead of Adam Schiff, Katie Porter was right. Adam Schiff is a corporate Democrat at least I know Katie Porter would’ve been fighting for every day Americans.
What's so disgusting is he was silent about a completely lost it Feinstein because he knew he was next in line to most benefit from her stepping down and didn't want to compete with Gavin's replacement being the incumbent. And all the dirty tricks he played in the primary propping up the Republican candidate.
But you never know what money will do to a person. But Porter seems genuine because she doesn't take donor money from corporations from what I understand. She just looks like a soccer mom or ordinary housewife and she fights for the working and poor.
I voted for Porter
@@plieu625 She's great.
@plieu625 so did I! Will not vote for Schiff!
I've lost so much respect for Schiff and Pelosi!! Do not want to listen to him
So happy Biden finally dropped out 😊 KAMALA 2024!!!
I’m so disgusted with all of those maga dems who threw President Biden under the bus by forcing him out. You get no respect from me.
He disgusts me now.
The endorsement that Pelosi made was kamala was fake
Y’all should’ve voted for Katie Porter for Ca Senator. I do not like this man.
I agree and I did vote for Katie Porter. Let's recall him after Vice President Harris wins!!
One of the first to bully him out of the office. No respect.
Zero respect!!
@Sol-k9what a lost soul you are nobody has ever wanted kamala as president
Forcing him out makes me no longer like or respect you😔
Agreed!
@@StefanieGarcia THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING JOE BIDEN!!!!
HARRIS2024!
Totally agree - I am disgusted with him and will never see him in the same way again.
This I'm writing in biden
If Biden is too old to be president, then they need to Institute age limits for all elected officials.
It's not his age it's that he's not competent .
They will never pass age or term limits because it affects them. They only pass legislation that affects us. (Insider trading, for example)
It is NOT due to his age. His own Democratic Party forced him to quit the race because Biden could not think, speak, or remember like last seen in his debate on June 27, 2024. The Democrat Party is now Biden's biggest enemy and the public humiliation inflicted against him is inhumane.
Republicans have been saying that for years
It wasn't his age. It was his inability to put words together in coherent sentences, his need for notes on how to sit, stand, speak etc. also his need for handlers to point him in the right direction.
The gaslighting going on here will be studied in history books. 😂
Ah Democracy. Where we can't even pick our candidates.
The only ones upset about it are republicans. I never realized how much they care about democrats. 😂
So, its not about what is best for the country but, who can help you win...
Word.
*It actually is about what is Best for the Country,* but they were too hast in their Decision. *They Panicked when Pres. Biden did Not pushback, Fact-Check Trump in real time and aggressively make a Case against Trump to the undecided Voters in the Debate,* with only 3months before the Election _(4mos then)._ There's only 1 more Debate remaining after the 1st one Biden did. The *_Prominent Democrats think Pres. Biden will make an aggressive enough Case against Trump based on the last Debate._*
that's why the Repugs go so hard on Drumpf's jock
I was really upset with Rep Schiff on being one of the voices to force President Biden out of the office.
Yes but then said how great it was that Biden made his own choice 🙄
Are you upset that Adam Schiff lied to America for 7 years ? He's still never produced the PROOF he said he had about Trump.
Was? Sweetie, change that "was" to an "am"! I'm still heated at this cracking-under-the-pressure clown.
Don't forget, a couple of the clowns that pushed this might be on your ballot in the future.
@@Azul-ud9iv Haha isn't that something? Jackals and hyenas all had their knives out in private and now in public put on their puss n boots face and talk about how great Joe is. Spare me.
@@Azul-ud9iv It's best for the country
Schiff is a weasel
and based on your comment history youre a bigot.
Did you notice how much he blinked while responding to Sunny’s question? He’s a liar. He was in on Pelosi’s plot. He and the others should be thankful that this risk has paid off thus far.
I want Schiff to run for president one day
You mean pencil neck 🤣
Snake……..
Am I the only one who thinks that this was deliberate? That this was the plan all along. I remember how low VP Harris' approval ratings were incredibly low. Suddenly, she's the second coming. Joe has always seemed to know how to game the system. His ego has never been very large. He's also been a very honorable man and when he gives his word, Joe Biden tries to keep it.
Eyes opened now?………….
I live in CA and when my husband and I heard what he said…my first words were I refuse to vote for him. I’m writing in Katie Porter. Husband concurred.
Noooo, just vote for Schiff and then he’ll be primaried in the next cycle or just get him in and then call on him to resign endlessly until he resigns for the governor to pick the senator or he gets primaried!
"Throwing your weight around " by Joy was a Freudian slip. That's exactly what that corporate owned bleep did.
Thank you Sunny for asking that question. He should have acknowledged that Biden deserved better and that he owes Biden an apology. Until he shows some remorse for publicly humiliating Biden, I can’t get behind him.
What makes me sick is the fact that they can not leave well enough allone. WHAT DO YOU REPORTERS WANT?............he dropped out......passed the torch why in heavens good name are you digging for just any scandal you need so much to have another BREAKING NEWS !.........its SICKENING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and painfull to watch
Every time I look at Harris or Schiff or Pelosi or Buttigieg and the rest, I am filled with rage at not just what they did, but at what they continue to do. They are disgusting, cruel 🐖🐖🐖.
Ummm, the current President has dementia/parkinsons and continues to run our country. Kind of seems like a big deal 🤷🏽♂️
He was hobbled by his own party. They made it impossible for him to win. Sure it was the right decision AFTER they made it impossible for him to win.
Don’t you think politics is such a dirty game? They basically forcibly ended his political career and pushed him out kicking and screaming only to say how amazing he is and how much they love him. We all saw what happened in real time. It’s a joke.
...because this way they cheaply fill out the time so they benefit from the ad revenue. Most of legacy media today is just filler-material - and not real content.
I used to like him but I lost my respect. Shut up!!! It’s not you who will decide.😡😡😡
They just did, cry harder.
@DanTC-x6c I‘m furiously mad🙄
Get over it. Biden was and is more realistic and practical than what some of you give him credit for @ophelia454
Damn...i hate when trump is right about some of these losers. Shifty Sheiff was actually a correct name for him..
Yep………
TRUMP is Shifty and a loser. He's in a Cesspool of a Party of Losers and cannot speak about anyone.
BOTTOM Line
Rep I wish the broadcast had brought on someone other than you
AS you pushed for Biden to dropout
You have to rebuilt my trust--Ready for that???
Right now I switch channels if you are on or speak.
Oh no, how can he live now?!
I don't like Schiff at all
What a snake.
They threw President Biden under the bus.
I am disappointed that President Biden was forced out.
He would be a better candidate than Harris.
I agree that how they coerced Biden to step down needs looking into. But not now. Now we need to unite and vote every single Dem back in so we have a blue presidency, house and senate. That is the only way we shut down the fascist MAGA movement.
If we are saving democracy then please explain how you get rid of Joe Biden who the people voted for and you toss him aside because you don’t like his poll numbers.
💯💯💯💯💙
Easy - Joe Biden’s terrible poll numbers consistently pointed to and predicted that he would lose in November. Running a losing candidate is a waste of time and vs. Trump, a threat to democracy.
Biden was pushed out
Yes!!
It was time for him to go
By the media.
he was too old man... we can not have old men make decisions for the future... we need energy and Harris will be the best option while I am NOT a big fan of her but she send the right message for the future as TRUMPF is only in this for himself ...
They *Panicked after they saw President Biden did Not pushback, Fact-Check Trump in real-time,* Or *make a Case against Trump to the undecided Voters during the Debate,* with only 3months before the Election. *_9 Prominent Democratics decided Pres. Biden will Not make an aggressive enough Case against Trump based on the last Debate_* and should think about withdrawing from the Race. *The Media found out and Gaslighted for 3wks then George Clooney did a piece in the NY Times* saying Biden should withdraw from the Race based on the Debate Performance. All of which *SCARED THE DONORS AWAY.* The Big Donors made an ultimatum that they were out unless the Party moved forward with another Candidate.
'Without Donors No Party Wins an Election.' That's why Billionaire Elon Musk is Endorsing Trump with Millions monthly since some Donors won't Fund Trump's Campaign after he doubled-down on the Dangerous Rhetoric after the Bullet Grazed him at his Rally.
How do you know when Adam Scihiff is lying? Only when he’s talking.
Stop it, that's Trump.
Back stabber
Sonny was correct in her question, the President did deserve better. His own party dragged him through the mud along with the media and literally forced him out. I don’t see what other choice he had. If his own party didn’t have confidence in him then others would question why should they cast a vote for him. If they wanted him to step down they should have done it in private a long time ago.
“Is there anyone that you’re throwing your weight around, uh behind?” 😂
He got cornered and kicked off the ticket. He did not pass the torch lol
@@NikosZaidGomezwhat you don’t understand? I can’t even say anything because I got banned for 24 hours for not supporting Kamala. This is what is happening our rights to have an opinion
@@javiruiz8365 Son, are you good? What are you even talking about?
Do not select any of the Betrayal Team for VP .
I’m voting all democrats all for democracy.
Ok bot
They don’t want the job. They are team players who took a risk and saved the country
They did not betray him. They just admitted to the writing on the wall.
Democrats have a major flaw. They don't know what a woman is, they open the border, & blame it on Trump, even after Democratic mayor Eric Adams said ( These immigrants are going to destroy N.Y. Now Biden steps aside, Why? We know he can't win, & has Dementia. But the Democrats say he just had a cold. When are you going to wake up? You're being lied to...
I thought Whoopi was about to say "...throwing Biden under the bus"
She did _not_ look happy introducing him.
He should be voted out. All the traitors should be voted out. It’s disgusting and appalling that the call to have Biden step down yet we have a convicted felon on the other side. Where’s the call for him to step aside? Democrats are wimps.
She would have been right - that's exactly what he did.
Biden will leave on top.
Top of what? kamala?
@@georgejungle3095 Poster boy of the magot misogynist movement here. Prepare to become irrelevant.
Rep Schiff you really have some nerve! You were just worried about your election!
@@michelleflores3956 agreed!
100 per cent!
Trump was right when he named Schiff shifty…..
*But Trump is Shifty.*
I do not like Adam Schiff anymore.
Same!
The wealthy elite.
So dissatisfied and disappointed with how he treated BIDEN. I also lost respect for him
Why is there no vote? Who is running this party? It isnt us!
What a liar, they forced him out😮
Exactly 💯
Exactly.
@@liona1657 nope....he knew he did the right thing, he did it for the country...to much at stakee, Biden and those around knew it
They think people are babies
Carmella has already failed miserably in her duty to protect our borders. ❤
Team Katie Porter! Schiff is a backstabbing clown.
Selflessness 😂. Didn’t they have to force him out.
He could have stayed.
They should of done this privately! Airing this for the nation was not right and disrespectful
Senator Mark Kelly of Arizona would be a great pick for vice president to run with Kamala Harris.
Harris/jeffries🎉🎉🎉
JUST ONE MONTH AGO, ya’ll were telling us “BIDEN IS AS SHARP AS EVER”
It’s just ironic that they commend him for “passing the torch” while clinging on to their power.
He is such a liar 🤥
Vice President Kamala Harris For President 2024💙💙💙💙
Keep that border open huh
Democrat desperation. Vote Blue and they will screw you.
I'm so confused, what happened to my vote for Joe in the primary?
I went to the VP.
We have no rights anymore! You will see what else is in stored
With Kamala
Schiff, You’ve lost ALL credibility as a defender of democracy.
IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH AGE PEOPLE!! IT HAS TO DO WITH HIS MENTAL ACUITY. HE'S A DANG WALKING VEGETABLE!
Shifty Schiff.
So is our democracy about some big players deciding what's best in private meetings, or is it up to us- the people of America??!!!
It seems like it!
It wasn’t a selfless act by Biden. He had to be literally yanked and pushed out of his nomination 😂
Thank you for asking the right questions.
I don't like Adam
From a California Democrat
Well, I like him, from a California Democrat
@@walker4133 me too
Nope……
I did, for years - but I will never forgive him for his back stabbing.
Show me one clip of this dude not lying
He was forced out too liar 🤥
I will never forget how he betrayed the president.
Why didn't you speak with our President privately prior to speaking to the public? Seems sleazy...but not as sleazy as Trump.
He ain’t pass the torch , he was forced out of office.
I dissagree....he did it for the country
@@mw-vk6rm well why he ain’t gone now ? Also shouldn’t he just leave , if he’s doing it for the country? Just cus they’re running her doesn’t mean she just go win. Or is they going to cheat , because she a woman and black ? I believe Biden should quit so she could be the 1st woman president, therefore it wouldn’t matter if she loses.
@DanTC-y3w so just cheat him out his spot? He just said “any democrat wants to challenge me , throw your hat in the box “ two days later on a Sunday he quit!!! But still wants to finish his term ?
exactly
Everyone knows he was forced out. People are fooling themselves if they think Biden steps down without all the Dems telling him to step down and the donors pulling their support. The elite Dems and big money donate called the shots and forced him out.
People in this comment section think politicians are honest 😂😂😂😂😂😂
There are those who are rotten
Glad Joy is moving on and said - that ship has sailed.
He was right. Whoopi was in denial!
😂 The same democrats who never shut up about "saving our democracy" just staged a coup. 😂
I'll get over it Shiff, but what you did to President Biden should've been in private. You panicked over one bad debate... But, Harris has hit the ground running. Cool.
I won't get over it.
The Democrat machine is undemocratic.
I think Mark Kelly is the best choice overall but I wouldn’t be mad at any of those choices
Harris/jeffries🎉🎉🎉
Men in that position never would have been pressured to resigned.
Sen Kelly of Arizona needs to come out immediately and say he doesn't want to be VP. Voters in Arizona aren't going to vote for him if he's only going to leave to become VP.
that filler is so much doe 👀
Dr Jill is not happy, Dems pulled the rug out on my boy.
This man is a snake.
He's one who stood up against Trump. He's an American hero, you're simply blinded by that cult for angry dimwits.
Pass the torch or pass the buck?
Gaslighting
I adore Adam. He is such a lovely man.
Write in Katie Porter for US Senator for California!!!!
Schiff and the view are disgusting. In what world do these people live.
Adam Schiff has always been brave. He's fought to protect and defend for this country for a long, long time. And taken on the most difficult of tasks, with humility and intelligence.
Thank you for asking President Joe Biden to stay the course with the next 6 months in office (a huge job) while opening the door for a new generation of leadership. He choose a VP so well!
Harris/Jeffries🎉🎉🎉
Blah. blah. blah.
Adam Schiff
Mr. RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA himself.
😂😂😂😂😂
What a tool.
Any updates on the border.
There's a huge migrant caravan on its way .trying to make it there before Trump gets elected. Because Biden/Kamala invited them
"WE ARE NOT GOING BACK!"
I admire Schiff and his accomplishments. But I'm still mad at him and very disappointed in him for his public statements for Biden stepping down. He should have left his opinions to the confines of his party. Shame on you, Adam, such indefensible behavior.
Yes he deserved better!
Why did Biden step down. No one says why exactly
He has Parkinson's and has no chance of winning a second term. What is shocking is Biden has a much better chance then Kamala. I don't get it.
Where is Harris She's not attending the Joint Session of Congress?
Nope
Harris is campaigning… She was literally down the street from me yesterday holding a rally. What’s the issue?
You people just like complaining over nothing. She is campaining. What about that, you do not understand.
You will see enough of her for the next 8 years 😂
The people that think she’s going to win will probably call racism when she loses. Sick little minds.
Has DJT filed his 2023 taxes and where is an independent medical for the office of President?????
Over 80 million people vote Republican. Why can’t this show have some folks from the other side on, just to hear different views? Even if we don’t agree, different views should be heard.
They do
Exactly 💯
They literally do. Alyssa is a classic republican who probably represents a large portion of that party. You want an extremist MAGA on the show?…
They are funded by George Soros...bought and paid for propaganda
They probably don't like coming on the show???
I do agree Biden was forced to pass the torch and it was a right call but dishing it out in the public and not doing it in private made it "dirty" but then politics is dirty. And this goes without saying that Biden, the true man he is, put country before party, elevating his flawless stature to new height. Absolute respect to Biden from an Aussie.
So now voters need to push him out. We need Katy
Thank you Sunny for your question. I have great respect for Adam but the only Americans calling for President Biden to bow out were Republican voters, for the most part. Ultimately the right decision was made but I cannot have the same amount of respect for the democrat leadership as I once did, regardless. I support Kamala. 💙
