Ana Navarro Permanently Joined The View In 2022, Having Been A Guest Co-Host Since 2013
As a political strategist and commentator, Navarro has appeared on many outlets in English and Spanish, including CNN and Telemundo. However, she is best known to many as a co-host on The View.
Recently, actor Michael Douglas appeared as a guest on the long-running talk show. His appearance was meant to promote his new memoir, One Helluva Ride. However, the moment that really got fans talking was a question he asked Navarro.
As the actor asked, “I have to ask you something. I’ve admired you now so much for the last couple of years … But why aren’t you independent? How can you still be a Republican?” This initially caused Navarro, as well as some audience members, to break out laughing.
Some Viewers Expressed Mixed Reactions To Navarro Being Put On The Spot On The Show
Navarro then shared, “I’ll tell you why, because I live in Florida where the primaries are closed, and I want to be able to vote in the primaries and vote against those sons of b******.” She then shared that she hoped to “make a difference in the primaries.”
Navarro’s politics have often been the subject of discussion by commentators. While identifying as a Republican, she has often advocated some of the policies of her left-leaning co-hosts. She also served as a host during the 2024 Democratic National Convention. During the 2024 presidential election, she also expressed support for Kamala Harris.
The recent moment sparked a few reactions on social media. Some agreed with her reasoning, while others disliked Douglas putting her on the spot to defend her stance. Some comments included:
- “It’s somewhat common here and other states with closed primaries. I did the same thing a few years ago to vote in our local primary. I changed my registration back right after that election.”
- “Spoken by the guy who swore that Biden was sharp as a tack.”
- “He boasts about being unfaithful to his wife yet has the gall to criticize Ana Navarro for being a Republican???”
- “Im not sure Ana was happy he asked her that & we know the World Champ has went OFF when tried but maybe she realized if Michael Douglas is asking you a question, answer it lol”
