Fastrack · The View' Co-hosts Agree Democrats Should Not Impeach Trump if Party Wins Back C

The View co-hosts said Friday that Democrats should not impeach President Trump if they retake Congress. They were endorsing comments former Vice President Kamala Harris made on a podcast.

Harris said Democrats should spend limited resources on investigations instead.
67 Senate votes are needed to convict, Navarro noted, calling impeachment moot without them.
Hostin pointed to Hakeem Jeffries' 100-day plan on tax credits, ICE and stock trades.
Hostin said impeaching Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, as Rep. Thomas Massie proposed, would be appropriate.

Why it matters: The hosts are among Trump's most visible TV critics. Their position aligns with Harris and strategists warning against an impeachment push.

Democratic strategist James Carville also warned against impeachment earlier this month.
Alyssa Farah Griffin urged repealing Trump's tariffs and pausing the war in Iran instead.
