- She explained she will not leave her children for the show, emphasizing that family commitments outweigh any interest in competing again.
- Her appearances featured sharp exchanges with Sunny Hostin over voting for Donald Trump and other topics, though on Friday Hostin praised her for standing firmly by her views and Hasselbeck said the debates felt energizing.
- Whoopi Goldberg twice cut off crosstalk to keep the live show on track, while Hasselbeck also reflected on her 2007 Rosie O’Donnell clash as an “awful human rift” and shared cordial on-air moments with Joy Behar.
