Former President Joe Biden and first lady Dr. Jill Biden will sit for their first TV interview since leaving the White House on The View.
The Bidens will join hosts Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin, Sarah Haines, Alyssa Farah Griffin and Ana Navarro live on the May 8 edition of the ABC daytime show. The former first couple will discuss their life after the presidency, Joe Biden’s legacy and the current political landscape.
That Joe Biden would choose The View for his first on-camera interview after the end of his presidency is not a surprise. He has been a guest on the show 10 times in the past, including in September 2024 when he became the first sitting president to appear live on the show (Barack Obama did a taped interview with the show in 2010). The show was also Biden’s first TV stop when he announced his run for president in 2019, and he appeared on the show several times when he was vice president.
The Bidens’ interview follows on the heels of Kamala Harris, who became the Democratic nominee for president after Biden dropped his re-election bid, made her first major speech since the election earlier this week.
