The View Skips Halloween Costumes to Focus on Election Coverage

The decision to forgo the annual Halloween episode comes as the hosts prioritize live election discussions over taped holiday festivities.

The View's co-hosts will not dress up for Halloween this year, breaking a 28-year tradition.
Executive producer Brian Teta announced the change, citing the need to be live before the upcoming presidential election on November 5.
Joy Behar expressed relief, noting that while the Halloween episodes are iconic, they are a significant undertaking.
The show aims to use its platform to inform viewers about the political stakes, particularly concerning Donald Trump's candidacy.
Despite skipping costumes, The View will continue to acknowledge Halloween without the elaborate dress-up.
