Watch on Deadline
Alyssa Farah Griffin:Is it the outcome I wanted?
It is a moment, Griffin continued, to listen to the voters.
We might not have liked his words, but they turned out for him.
We know that he will have almost unfettered power.
Im worried not for myself actually, or my station in life, Im worry about the working class.
I worry about my mother, a retired teacher.
I worry about our elderly and their Social Security and health care.
I worry about my childrens future, especially my daughter who now has less rights than I had.
I think this was a referendum of cultural resentment in this country.
Ana Navarro:Im obviously very disappointed and sad.
Navarro continued, I have no regrets.
I worked hard as hell to elect the first Black Asian American woman as president.
History slipped through our fingers again.
Whoopi Goldberg:Think about this.
[Harris] did this in two months.
Everybody can always say she should have done this, she should have done this.
She was everywhere, she talked to everybody and people didnt come out.
I dont know why and it doesnt even matter.
Hes now going to be president.
And Im still not going to say his name.
Even a formerViewcohost wanted to join the fray, though her criticism was for the show itself.
