'The View' is struggling to find a conservative woman who won't get hostile debating the show's liberal cohosts

'The View' is struggling to find a conservative woman who won't get hostile debating the show's liberal cohosts

Since the departure of Meghan McCain from ABC's "The View" earlier this year, the oft-raucous panel has lacked a permanent conservative panelist, and several of the cohosts are pushing the network to nix the rotation of guest hosts and select a conservative replacement, according to Politico.

The past few months have featured guest-hosting stints by a number of conservative women, including former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina, the former Fox News journalist Gretchen Carlson, the political commentator S.E. Cupp, former White House Director of Strategic Communications Alyssa Farah, and the former State Department spokesperson Morgan Ortagus.

In August, Executive Producer Brian Teta told The Wrap that he was "taking a little time" to find the long-running daytime show's next host.

But months after McCain's exit, there has been no resolution on selecting a permanent panelist, and the cohosts Joy Behar, Whoopi Goldberg, and Sunny Hostin have reportedly made it known that the continued guest hosting has disrupted the energy of the show.
