Overview
- The View segment, which aired Tuesday, featured Whoopi Goldberg saying voters must show a driver’s license, and co-hosts Sunny Hostin and Sara Haines replying that New York does not require ID at the polls.
- The exchange came during a discussion of the SAVE Act, a Republican-backed proposal supported by President Trump to require documentary proof of U.S. citizenship to register for federal elections.
- The bill has passed the House and still needs action in the Senate.
- Hostin said the Trump administration is suing states to obtain voter registration data and warned that the records include very personal details.
- Mediaite framed the moment as an on-air correction, while Fox News described a rebuke, reflecting how outlets cast the SAVE Act debate for their audiences.
