Whoopi Goldberg, the outspoken co-host of "The View," has sparked controversy with her resolute support for President Biden's re-election campaign. Despite widespread concerns about Biden's age and cognitive abilities, Goldberg has asserted that she would only reconsider her support if he flubs the second presidential debate.
"I don't care if he's pooped his pants. I don't care if he can't put a sentence together," Goldberg declared on the show. "Show me he can't do the job, and then I'll say, OK. Maybe it's time to go."

Goldberg's comments came in response to a discussion among the panel of co-hosts about Biden's performance in the first presidential debate. Some co-hosts expressed concerns about Biden's ability to handle the rigors of the presidency, while Goldberg remained staunchly behind him.
Goldberg drew upon her own experience as someone who has made mistakes and said that she believes Biden deserves the same consideration. "I have poopy days all the time, all the time. I step in so much poo you can't even imagine," she said.

However, Goldberg emphasized that her support was not unconditional. "If he can't do what he needs to do for the second debate, I'll join any crew that says get rid of him," she added.
Goldberg's defense of Biden was echoed by her co-host Ana Navarro, who expressed frustration with the media's focus on Biden's age and mental acuity. "It almost feels like media malpractice for them, trying to score the winning goal against Biden," Navarro said.

In contrast, co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin argued that Biden's performance in the first debate raised legitimate concerns about his ability to lead the country. She also expressed doubts that Biden could beat former President Trump in a rematch.
"I actually would argue, unpopular take, I think Kamala Harris would perform better because I think voters felt gaslit being told Biden is as sharp as a tack. I think a young, energetic Democrat running and saying they're the top of the ticket actually will perform better head-to-head," Griffin said.
Co-host Sara Haines also expressed reservations about Biden's chances of defeating Trump, stating that she did not believe he could beat the former president under the current circumstances.
Despite these concerns, Goldberg's unwavering support for Biden has raised questions about the standards that Democrats will use to evaluate their presidential nominee. Some commentators have suggested that Goldberg's stance reflects a broader willingness among Democrats to overlook Biden's weaknesses in order to defeat Trump.
