Whoopi Goldberg made it clear during Wednesday’s broadcast of “The View” that she was still not over what the Democratic Party did to President Joe Biden in forcing him to step away from the 2024 presidential race.
Goldberg complained that the Democrats — some of whom made very public statements as they determined that President Biden was not, in their minds, capable of moving forward with the campaign or another term in office — should have kept their opinions and their counsel private.
Biden attributed his exit to different things throughout the interview, saying at one point that he had always intended for his presidency to be “transitional” and at another that he had only just finally realized how truly old he was. “It’s hard to think of — it’s hard for me to even say how old I am. No, I’m serious … It’s like, holy God, that can’t be right.”

Whoopi goes off on how the Democrats forced Biden out of the race because it aired Democrat laundry:

But Goldberg was still angry, and she used some of the time with Biden to air her grievances regarding how that had gone down.

“I didn’t like the way they did it,” she said after Biden insisted that he would not have lost to Trump if he had decided to stay in the race. “I’m going to just say it out loud because nobody says it out loud. I didn’t like the way it was done publicly. I thought they could have done this in a different way because we didn’t need to hear all the inner fighting. I didn’t like it, I’m saying it to you, you were my ride or die. I was going where — wherever you were going, that was where I was going.”
Goldberg went on to say that she had expected Biden to pass the torch to Harris after just one term, but argued that Trump’s decision to enter the 2024 race, setting up a potential rematch, had changed the calculus because she believed Biden would have the best chance to beat him.
