The following article, Joe Biden to Appear on The View Spectacle, was first published on The Black Sphere.
There are bad ideas, and then there’s Joe Biden going on The View. What could he and the Democrats be thinking?
In what can only be described as a desperate cry for relevance—or perhaps a misplaced bet that daytime TV audiences have the memory span of goldfish—the man the Left finally admitted has the cognitive sharpness of a microwaved pudding cup is set to grace The View for his first post-presidency interview. And because nothing says “I’m still coherent!” like subjecting yourself to a panel of women who once argued whether a man could host The View. Also in tow will be Jill Biden, Joe’s trusty human security blanket. For Joe, you need someone nearby you can trust to keep you awake should you nod off mid-sentence.
The Hollywood Reporter breathlessly announced that the Bidens will discuss “his legacy” and “the current political landscape.”
Ah yes, nothing like reflecting on a legacy that includes record inflation, a border crisis so severe even blue-city mayors started crying, and a foreign policy best described as “Let’s see how many wars we can accidentally start by being senile and weak.” As for the “current political landscape,” does anyone really care about Joe’s opinions. Honestly, the reason anybody would watch this is because Vegas is taking bets on whether Biden will die on camera.
Why The View? Because No One Else Would Take the Risk
Biden’s team picked The View for the same reason a toddler picks a coloring book over War and Peace—it’s the only thing he can handle.
Fox News would ask actual questions, and CNN stopped tossing softballs a while back as well. MSNBC might still love him, but even they can’t edit out a live, meandering Biden word-salad in real time. But The View is the political equivalent of a padded room. The hosts will lob him softballs so gentle it will look like quiet time at the memory-care facility.
And yet, even in this safest of safe spaces, Biden is a walking liability.
Remember his last View appearance in 2024, when he confidently declared that he had “saved democracy” by losing to Trump in the polls for nine straight months? Or when he told Whoopi Goldberg that his secret to success was “just keep talking until they stop listening”?
This is a man who once forgot the name of his own Secretary of Defense mid-sentence and replaced it with “the guy… y’know, the one with the face.” And now he’s going live?
The Democratic Party’s Nightmare
The real comedy here isn’t Biden’s inevitable gaffes—it’s the Democratic Party’s horrified faces as they watch their discarded figurehead remind America why they ditched him. The same party that spent months whispering (then shouting) that Biden was an anchor around their necks must now watch as he stumbles through an interview they know will be weaponized in every GOP ad from now until the mid-terms.
And what does Biden gain? Nothing. ‘
No one tuning into The View is undecided about him. All people are watching for the same reason people rubberneck at car crashes. They want to see if Biden crashes and burns.
The Inevitable Trainwreck
Will Biden call Kamala “President Harris” again? Will he confuse Alyssa Farah Griffin with a Golden Girl? Will he promise to “build back betterer”? The possibilities are endless.
But one thing is certain: This interview will be less about Biden’s “legacy” and more about proving that his party was right to kick him to the curb. And as Jill gently pats his hand while he rambles about “the thing that does the stuff,” Democrats across the country will collectively groan, “Why didn’t we just let him retire to a nice, quiet basement?”
Because nothing says “We’re doomed in 2024” like Joe Biden, live and unscripted, on The View. Buckle up.
