The conversation revolved around Trump's allegations that Biden has been resorting to performance-enhancing drugs to gear up for the forthcoming event, as reported by The Decider.
The White House, however, dismissed Trump's demand for a pre-debate drug test scheduled for June 27. This sparked a debate among the co-hosts of The View, with Whoopi Goldberg questioning whether Biden should even bother to respond to such claims from his political adversary.
Goldberg, when her turn came to express her viewpoint, predictably sided with Biden. Yet, she managed to stun her co-hosts by breaking her own established rule. "I think it would be remiss of us to not say, Joe Biden knows how to do this. He knows how to do this, he’s quite good at this,” she asserted, praising the president's debating prowess. She further added, “And you can’t refute anything with him, because he just — when I say him, I mean, uh,” before being interrupted by Joy Behar, who interjected, “Trump.”

Goldberg concurred, saying, “Trump. He tends to just—” and made a circular motion with her arm, indicating Trump's tendency to dodge questions. Realizing her slip, Goldberg expressed her distaste with an "ugh," and a theatrical spit into the void below her.

This unexpected deviation from her norm elicited a wave of laughter from the studio audience and her co-hosts, with Sunny Hostin appearing particularly amused. After a hearty laugh, Hostin turned to Goldberg and inquired, “Did you say his name?”

Goldberg confessed, “I said his name. It was a trick and it made me do it.” For years, Goldberg has staunchly avoided uttering Trump's name on The View. However, she broke this self-imposed silence during a May episode of the show to announce that the former president had been convicted of 34 felony counts. “I’m going to say something you’ve never, ever heard me say before: Donald John Trump is a convicted felon,” she declared then.
