Joy Behar is predicting the end of the road for President Joe Biden‘s reelection campaign. On this morning’s episode of The View, the co-host said she thinks the POTUS will drop out of the 2024 presidential race as more Democrats call for him to step aside and his recent Covid diagnosis further complicates his campaign.
Whoopi Goldberg kicked off today’s chat with the news of Rep. Adam Schiff calling on Biden to drop out of the race, which came right as the President tested positive for Covid. In an interview that aired on BET last night (July 17) — which The View played a portion of — President Biden said he would only suspend his presidential campaign if he “had some medical condition.”
When Goldberg asked, “Did the interview change people’s minds?” Behar dejectedly replied, “I don’t think so.”
“It’s so depressing. The whole thing. You know, I think that he’s gonna drop out now. That’s my feeling. I mean, I don’t have any information, but when [Nancy] Pelosi gets into this, and [Sen. Chuck] Schumer, and Schiff and [Hakeem] Jeffries, and they all say it’s time to go…” Behar said, referring to top Democrats who have all reportedly encouraged Biden to drop out.
“The Covid, in a way, is like a good way for him to get out, because he needs this time to show how strong he is, and he’s sick,” Behar continued. “The time is very, very short now. So, I don’t know what’s gonna happen, but I wouldn’t put it past them to just say, ‘Look, Joe. We can’t.'”

Behar then said that she took Pelosi’s words especially seriously, noting that the former Speaker of the House “would not bring a vote to the floor unless she knew it was gonna get passed.”
Behar proclaimed, “This is not a woman who plays games. And she doesn’t feel that he can win, I don’t think.”
A recent New York Times report claimed that Pelosi has said she is “pessimistic” about Biden’s chances of winning the presidency again this fall, joining a chorus of other high-level Democrats who have expressed concern about the President’s chances at the polls this November.
The View airs weekdays at 11/10c on ABC.
