Tensions are high behind the scenes at The View as co-hosts are reportedly under pressure to tone down their criticism of President Trump. The request comes amid significant layoffs at ABC, with the show’s executive producer, Brian Teta, urging the panel to tread carefully when discussing Trump. This shift in approach coincides with ABC’s restructuring and layoffs, which have affected morale.

Additionally, the show’s new studio setup in Hudson Square has caused friction. The co-hosts must now share space with The Tamron Hall Show, leading to scheduling conflicts and frustration over shared dressing rooms. Staffers are also unhappy with cramped workspaces and the challenging commute.

As ABC navigates these challenges, the show’s tone toward Trump may soften, with some co-hosts like Sara Haines expressing disconnect with the audience due to their anti-Trump stance. The future direction of The View is uncertain, as internal tensions and job security concerns grow.
