Season 24 will still feature talk about celebrities and pop-culture, but politics and major national issues will be a focal point as the presidential election nears. The View saw its ratings rise in the run up to the 2016 election. "The election is our Super Bowl, so we are excited about our hosts covering this very consequential moment,” said senior executive producer Hilary Estey McLoughlin. “But I think that what evolves over the season — we were at the intersection of politics, the pandemic and the racial justice movement, and we’re always reflecting the national conversation, which gives you a unique position in daytime. …The focus will continue to be that as long as that is the conversation that people are having.”
