Sara Haines is Reportedly Back in 'The View'
There is good news for the fans of Sara Haines. The former co-host of 'The View' might be back in the show for the next season.
On Friday, Variety reported that the 42-year-old would be back in the panel of The View for the 24th season. Haines will share the table with Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin, and Meghan McCain, who are the current moderators of the show.

She left the show in January 2020 after two seasons to become a senior advisor to her father's 2020 Utah gubernatorial election campaign. However, it was later reported that the real reason for Huntsman's exit was the toxic work culture and a strained relationship with fellow conservative host Meghan McCain.
It is believed that Haines will not be able to better face the same challenges as that of Huntsman as she is not new to The View. She was as a co-host for the three-season from 2016-2018. She left the talk show on August 2, 2018, to join Good Morning America Day with Michael Strahan. Later the show's name was changed to Strahan, Sara, and Keke after the addition of Keke Palmer in August 2019. Sadly because of coronavirus, the show got sidelined in March and recently was canceled.
Despite Haines leaving The View in 2018, she has been coming regularly to the show as a guest host. The frequency of her appearance in the show was even more in the recent season. So, in a way, the fans of the show are not surprised by the news of Haines joining.
In fact, there is no doubt majority of The View will be overjoyed with the news. Fans for a long time were asking Meghan McCain to be replaced by Sara. Many viewers have found the mother of three to be genuine, sweet, and open to ideas in contrast to McCain's 'hostile' and 'snobby' behavior, especially with fellow co-host Joy Behar.
