ABC’s The View surprised its studio audience on Wednesday when co-host Whoopi Goldberg announced that Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) will appear on the show next week, as reported by The New York Post.
Goldberg revealed the news live on air, noting that Greene — a close ally of President Donald Trump — is scheduled to join the panel on Tuesday. The announcement drew an audible gasp from someone in the audience, followed by applause.

“People in Washington are starting to say ‘my constituents,’” Goldberg said during the segment. “You know, they’re starting to remember why they’re there. Marjorie Taylor Greene — I’m happy to say that she’s going to be here on Tuesday.”
Co-host Joy Behar chimed in, pointing out that Greene’s appearance “happens to be on Election Day.” Goldberg added that while she and Greene may not see eye to eye on many issues, they share at least one concern about the ongoing government shutdown, which entered its 31st day this week.
“I don’t know how many things we agree on,” Goldberg said, “but I know the one thing that she and I and all of us at this table agree on is this should not be affecting the American people.”

The View panel — which includes Goldberg, Behar, Sunny Hostin, Sara Haines, Alyssa Farah Griffin, and Ana Navarro — has rarely hosted prominent conservative lawmakers.
The show is known for its liberal-leaning commentary, often sparking heated political exchanges. Greene’s upcoming appearance marks a rare outreach moment between the outspoken congresswoman and one of television’s most consistently left-leaning programs.
Earlier this month, Goldberg called Greene “a very surprising voice of reason,” after the Georgia representative broke from Republican ranks by supporting the renewal of Obamacare tax credits — a key point of contention in the budget standoff.
“What the hell is going on?” Goldberg said during that broadcast.
Behar also acknowledged Greene’s personal stake in the debate. “She also has a couple of kids who need — the insurance premiums are going up, so it’s very personal to her,” Behar said. “You know, I’ll take it.”
In a social media post earlier this month, Greene clarified her stance on the issue, saying she remains opposed to Obamacare but wants to protect her constituents from rising costs.
“I’m not a fan of Obamacare,” she wrote. “But I’m going to go against everyone on this issue because when the tax credits expire this year my own adult children’s insurance premiums for 2026 are going to DOUBLE, along with all the wonderful families and hard-working people in my district.”
Co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin also joked during an earlier segment, “It’s a dark day when Marjorie Taylor Greene is the voice of reason.” After Goldberg said she had never heard the saying, Griffin added, “A blind squirrel finds a nut every now and then.”
Greene’s scheduled appearance is expected to be one of the show’s most closely watched interviews of the season.

I don’t see the sanity in this – MT-G has everything to lose if the very left-wing panel choose to join forces against her ( as I expect !! )
M T-G has everything to lose and nothing to gain – HER supporters won’t be watching this “show” for sure !
It sad to see MTG going the way of the DoDo bird.
The solution to government programs needing more money is to kill the program. The ACA has failed on every promise. We didn’t get to keep our doctors or our plans. Prices are still going up and the life expectancy is failling because people cannot afford care under the program. Just repeal it!
