Sunny Hostin Rips 'Disrespectful' Dems Throwing Biden 'Under The Bus'

"The View" co-host named one thing party leaders should start talking about more ahead of November.

Sunny Hostin declared that its President Joe Biden s decision on whether he steps aside from his 2024 bid, as she blasted reports  about Democrats private meetings discussing concerns over his reelection chances.

It seems to me that these behind the scenes meetings that should be private are being leaked intentionally to sort of force his hand, said The View co-host on Thursday.

I think thats disrespectful to the president. I think its disrespectful to the office.

Hostin added that Americans have a binary choice in November: an existential threat to democracy on one side and Biden on the other, the latter of whom has her vote.

He has Vice President [Kamala] Harris right next to him, who is ready to step into the role of president God forbid something happened to Joe Biden , Hostin said.

So I still think, Democrats, instead of throwing Joe Biden under the bus, need to start talking more about the Republican program, which is [Project] 2025 .

Hostins remarks arrive after top party leaders including Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) met with the president in the last week to discuss the concerns surrounding his candidacy among Democrats.

ABC reported Wednesday that Schumer urged the president to step aside on Saturday and another source told HuffPost that neither the Senate majority leader nor Jeffries told the president to leave the race.

The View co-host Sara Haines told Hostin that she believes leading Democrats wouldnt make conversations public if they didnt feel they needed that pressure campaign to help them with decisions on Bidens 2024 bid.
