'The View' co-hosts agree Democrats should not impeach Trump if party wins back control of Congress

"The View" co-hosts agreed with former Vice President Kamala Harris Friday that impeachment would not be a good use of the Democratic Partys time and resources if the party wins back control of Congress in the midterm elections.


"I think that going on in the direction of impeachment is not a good idea," Harris warned Tuesday on "The Parnas Perspective" podcast. "OK, just to be honest with you. Because we have limited resources, and I think the energy and the resources need to be put into accountability, need to be put into investigations. And that's where the time should be spent. Remember, I was in the Senate for the last go-round and the votes aren't there, right? So, that's how I feel."


After playing a clip of Harris' comments, "The View" co-hosts agreed with her assessment.

"In terms of Trump, no, I don't think that's what should be on the agenda," co-host Sunny Hostin said. "Hakeem Jeffries — who I believe will be the next speaker of the House, after November — he has a plan for 100 days which includes tax credits, taking care of the tax credits, limiting ICE and also stock trades. 


"And then he's got a plan for the first 100 hours, which would include, you know, just undoing a lot of unpopular Trump policies. So, I think there is a plan in place that Democrats have, and it may not include impeaching Trump."


"I think that Democrats have to be realistic of what's achievable," co-host Ana Navarro said. "We are four days away from the election. So, before we start talking about what Democrats are going to do once they win, they've got to make sure they win. 


"People have to focus not on all of the conversation about impeachment and what is going to happen but rather on getting out the vote and getting people to the polls so that the American people decide who they want in power in the House and in the Senate.


"There's a limit to what Democrats are going to be able to do even if they win the House, even if they win the House and the Senate, because Donald Trump is still president," she continued. "Legislation in this country needs to be signed by the president. If not, it needs to have a veto-proof majority. And I think that's going to be very difficult to achieve. I'm completely against impeachment.


"There's 100 other ways to hold Donald Trump and his administration accountable," Navarro added. "Impeachment is an exercise that's moot if you don't have the 67 votes in the Senate required to indict."


Joy Behar pointed to former President Richard Nixon's resignation from office after Republican lawmakers warned him that he lacked sufficient Senate support to avoid conviction if impeached and said of Trump, "If we don't have the votes to convict, there's no point in impeaching."

Sara Haines also agreed, arguing that many of Trumps supporters are now angry with him for breaking campaign promises and that Democrats could capitalize on their dissatisfaction by delivering on their own promises.
