Joe & Jill Biden Coming to ‘The View’ for First Post-Presidency Interview
If you have been waiting to hear what former President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden have to say about the current administration and what they think about how Donald Trump is leading the country, well, you won’t have to wait much longer. The View moderator Whoopi Goldberg announced at the top of Thursday’s (May 1) episode that the duo will be appearing together in a live episode next week.
Goldberg said the show is “honored” to host the Bidens for their first on-air interview since leaving the White House in January, following the inauguration of Trump and JD Vance. The Bidens will appear on the show on Thursday, May 8.
“We’ll ask about his legacy, accomplishments, regrets, and, of course, the current political landscape,” Goldberg teased of their appearance on the series.
The last time Joe Biden was on The View was in September 2024 when he joined the panelists to discuss his decision to drop out of the 2024 presidential race and endorse then-Vice President Kamala Harris for the party’s nominee. Meanwhile, Jill Biden’s prior appearance came in May 2024, before her husband stepped away from the race, to take on critics of his age.
Many supporters have not heard from either of the Bidens on TV since his farewell interview with MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell on The Last Word. Since then, the former POTUS has been involved in notable political events, including the inauguration of Donald Trump and the funerals of Jimmy Carter and Pope Francis. He also spoke at the Advocates, Counselors, and Representatives for the Disabled (ACRD) on April 15. However, he has largely abided by the unwritten tradition of former presidents not actively speaking out against the current administration … until now, at least.
We’ll have to wait and see what Joe and Jill Biden have to say about the current state of affairs when they appear together on next week’s live episode, airing Thursday, May 8.

They will be treated like royalty. Joe won’t get any even vaguely tough questions. Doubtful but Jill might get one or two semi tough questions. Mostly will be a Trump bashing session. With Joe & Jill crowing about what absolutely great shape they left the country in. Right. 🙄

You could have at least waited until the interview aired and you watched it (which I doubt you'll actually do) to make a biased opinion...

The economy was in pretty good shape right up until January 21 of this year. Yeah, the price of eggs was higher than it should have been, but there was a bird flu going on. But for the most part the economy was fine. But now??? Do you read headlines???
As for the border, the numbers had been going up for 20 years. Just because "Border Barbie" is making a lot of photo ops doesn't mean the problem is solved. And don't get us started on the ILLEGAL kidnappings and trafficking of people out of the country.

Instead of Secret Service following him for protection, it's doctors and nurses. Maybe Joy will show us how to change an adult diaper live! Whoopie Cushin can spoon feel him some ice cream. Jill can talk about how she broke Nancy's hip and her secret love affair with Clooney.

Whoee !! Boy when the Lib Dems hate you they HATE you !! They’re coming after Sen. Fetterman Hard !! And the irony of All ironies is their using his supposed “ mental incompetence “ as the excuse !! Must have walked around with their fingers stuck in their eyes for the Four years of Biden !! No it’s All because Fetterman had the gall to Agree with Trump on some things. You do that and they will turn on you like ravening wolves !! Lib Dems gladly eat their own. Sad for Fetterman, I don’t agree with all he says and believes in but I Do respect his courage !! Be funny if he took some of the hotshots down with him. You’d fare better being in a pit with rattlesnakes than a room full of Lib Dems !! 😳
