‘The View’ Guest List Proves It’s A ‘Democrat Socialist Party Infomercial’

If people were surprised to see Vice President JD Vance as a guest on ABC’s “The View,” that is likely because the show typically skews far to the Left — both in its regular hosts and the guests invited to join the table.

Data provided to The Daily Wire by The Media Research Center only serves to underscore that point, as a recent study conducted by the MRC revealed that “The View” booked 87 liberal guests and just five conservative guests — meaning the show booked 17.4 times more liberals than conservatives.

“‘The View’s’ 87-5 guest ratio proves the show is not diverse at all. It’s a Democrat Socialist Party infomercial,” MRC President David Bozell said.

The data was compiled over the course of the midday talk show’s 29th season — which ran from September 8, 2025, through July 24, 2026 — and evaluated only the guests who specifically spoke about politics in one direction or the other.

The five “conservative” guests were Cheryl Hines (wife of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.), former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), former reality star and Los Angeles mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt, attorney Alina Habba, and Vice President JD Vance.

The liberal guests — in addition to a number of celebrities who discuss political issues — included but were not limited to: New York City’s Democratic socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani, Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX), Democratic Senate nominee James Talarico (also from Texas), Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT), former First Lady Jill Biden, Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ), and Supreme Court Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Ketanji Brown Jackson (on separate occasions).

It is also worth noting that Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, though listed as a “conservative” guest for her appearance on November 4, 2025, also appeared on the “liberal” list for her appearances on January 1, 2026, and July 7, 2026.

According to the official stated methodology of the study, “For a guest to be counted as either liberal or conservative, they needed to express such views during their appearance on ‘The View.’ If a celebrity did not discuss politics, they were not included in the count of political leanings even if they had a history of being outspoken in the past. For example, actor Robert De Niro had a history of speaking out against President Trump, but was not included in the liberal count because politics did not come up.”

Additionally, it was noted that “conservative” guest hosts who rotated through while Republican cohost Alyssa Farah Griffin was on maternity leave were not officially considered “guests” — nor were the regular hosts, who lean far to the Left — and were thus excluded from the reported numbers.

The study comes as reports swirl about the studio making major cuts — from wardrobe to host salaries — and the show faces an investigation from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) into whether or not it qualifies as a “bona fide news program” and is thus exempt from “equal time” political broadcast requirements.

The network has argued that a 2002 ruling declaring the show a “news” program should stand, adding that “nothing about ‘The View’ that the law cares about has changed since the Commission last answered that question more than two decades ago. … What has changed is not the program but the political climate around it.”

The network also pushed back on FCC Chairman Brendan Carr, complaining that his focus has been unfairly directed toward daytime and evening television programming “perceived as unfriendly to the current administration — while leaving untouched the vast landscape of talk radio, where candidates routinely appear without their opponents.”

The FCC responded to that criticism in a statement given to The Associated Press, saying, “While ABC insists that ‘The View’ is a ‘bona fide news program’ under the law, ABC should focus on complying with its public-interest obligations, rather than misleading the public about them.”
