The View may have just found their fifth co-host, and the answer is not too far off from the dearly departed ex-host Meghan McCain. S.E. Cupp, a conservative political commentator and writer, began her two-day hosting stint today, and fans were pleased by her visit. Cupp is no stranger to The View, having visited multiple times to talk hot topics with the ladies — and even more than that, she’s McCain’s best friend. Who better to take the slot than that?
On today’s program, the co-hosts discussed Texas Governor Abbott’s decision to ban mask mandates in the state. While Cupp identifies as a traditional conservative in favor of small government, she was quick to tear into Abbott’s ruling, stating that she was uncomfortable with “jackasses” are taking her public health into their own hands.
Even more key to her success on today’s show, Cupp got vulnerable about her mental health journey, shedding light on the important subject by opening up about a recent panic attack she had in public. After Cupp shared her experience, the live audience erupted in a round of applause to support to guest host.
On social media, fans celebrated Cupp’s return to the show, going so far as to say she should nab the permanent panel position. “@secupp is the conservative I want to see at the table,” one user shared on Twitter. “We do not agree politically, but she is intelligent, knowledgeable and respectful.”
Folks were especially happy to see her open up about her mental health in such a candid way, taking to social media to thank her for her words. “Thank you SE CUPP for sharing your story!!!” one user tweeted. “I had a triggering experience a couple weeks ago that made me unexpectedly spiral back to a traumatic time for 48hrs and it was horrible, but with self soothing techniques I came back to the present. This stuff is real!”
Cupp will return for one more episode tomorrow (Oct. 13) before wrapping her guest hosting gig — for now. Who knows, we may see her back sometime soon! We’ll have to see what BFF Meghan thinks about Cupp snagging her old job.
The View airs weekdays on ABC at 11/10c.
