Overview

• On Friday’s broadcast, the cohost said a re-run of the 2024 election would see President Donald Trump win by the same or a larger margin, drawing audible groans from the studio audience.
• Joy Behar challenged the projection in real time, pressing Griffin after the claim and disputing her framing of the issue.
• Griffin contended that voters make choices based on day-to-day expenses rather than abstract concerns about democratic health, calling “democracy” too vague a term.
• The exchange followed discussion of a Quinnipiac poll reported this week showing that more than half of Americans believe democracy is not working, which Griffin framed as economic frustration.
• She cited polling she did not name suggesting Republicans are trusted more on top issues and described the electorate as roughly split 48–48, a point that Ana Navarro countered by saying many had forgotten how bad Trump was.
