Other programs on Fox News, including “America’s Newsroom,” “America Reports” and “Outnumbered,” reached all-time high numbers in the month of January, according to AdWeek. “The Five” remained its top viewed program with an average of 4.76 million total viewers, while “Jesse Watters Primetime” and “Hannity” received 4.12 and 3.76 million total viewers, respectively.
The network received a large number of viewership during President Donald Trump’s inauguration, while its competitors such as CNN and MSNBC witnessed a ratings drop in comparison to previous years.
“The View” has become a staunchly anti-Trump program ever since he rose to political prominence in 2015. The day following the 2024 election, the show scored its highest viewership in a decade by garnering 4.4 million viewers, making it the most-watched episode since Barbara Walters’ farewell episode on May 16, 2014, Variety first reported.
During that episode, the co-hosts spent the first segment lamenting the reelection of Trump. Co-host Sunny Hostin emotionally stated that she was “profoundly disturbed” by Trump’s defeat of former Vice President Kamala Harris and warned that the then-president-elect would seize “almost unfettered power.” Hostin further accused Latino voters of supporting Trump in record numbers due to “misogyny.”
Co-host Whoopi Goldberg warned without evidence that Trump intended to break up interracial marriages and replace the non-white spouse with a white person during an October segment.
