Sunny Hostin urges invocation of the 25th Amendment against Trump
Sunny Hostin suggested that the 25th Amendment be used to remove Donald Trump from office, hinting the move might come after Republicans lose control of Congress.
On the return of their show after the summer hiatus, Sunny Hostin raised the prospect of invoking the 25th Amendment to remove Donald Trump, questioning when the country should begin earnest discussion of the measure. She linked the timing to a potential loss of Republican majorities in both the House and Senate, suggesting that JD Vance could be positioned as a successor and that the Cabinet might intervene. Alyssa Farah Griffin countered, arguing that Trump’s Cabinet would never act, citing the lack of action after January 6.
Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar have previously called for the amendment’s use since Trump’s return to office. The discussion also touched on Trump’s recent addition of portraits to a White House “Presidential Walk of Fame,” prompting further jokes about the amendment. The segment aired amid an FCC investigation into the show’s compliance with equal-time rules.
