Meghan McCain is leaving the ‘The View’
McCain, 36 is set to announce her resignation on Thursday morning’s show, ending her four year run with two years remaining on her contract. She will be leaving at the end of this month, according to the Daily Mail.
“We have tried to keep her, but she is adamant that now is the right time for her to leave,” a Disney source told the Daily Mail.
The conservative co-host regularly clashed with her more liberal co-hosts on air, but at the beginning of this year she gave no indication that she was planning to leave, according to Page Six.
“Because whether we like it or not, I’m not going anywhere on the show, Joy [Behar] is not going anywhere on the show, we all have to live and co-exist together just like Americans right now,” she said on “Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen” in mid-January, “which is a little deeper of an answer, but we’re all going to try and co-exist and I really want to have us all move forward.”
Her co-hosts —Joy Behar, Whoopi Goldberg, Sunny Hostin, Sara Haines and Ana Navarro — were “not yet aware that Meghan has resigned” prior to the Daily Mail publishing the story, according to the report.
Sorry to see her go, I am a Democrat but had and still have so much respect for her dad and Megan who carries his legacy with her in her heart and her brilliant mind. A strong and opinionated woman, who shares her strength and brilliance with the audience. Always leaving food for thought when I watch her. Was so happy she got blessed with the wonder of being a Mom, happy to hear she will perhaps be giving herself the gift of more time with her daughter Liberty. I wish her well in what ever she has planned for her future. She is young, intelligent and can bring so much to the women of the world.
