“The View” hosts marked Election Day by sharing their optimism that Kamala Harris will beat Donald Trump in the race for president (Sunny Hostin said she was “nauseously optimistic”). All five hosts — Whoopi Goldberg, Sara Haines, Hostin, Joy Behar and Alyssa Farah Griffin — voted for Harris. Even Griffin, an outspoken Republican who previously served in Trump’s White House, voted for a Democrat for the first time in her life.

“I consider my vote a loan to her,” Griffin said about voting for Harrris. “I worry the direction that Donald Trump will take this country, and I take my own warning seriously. I need someone who is a kind and decent person who will bring this country together. I don’t agree with a lot of her policies and we can criticize that down the road, but today is about the best thing for the future and the future of the country is that Donald Trump will lose and Kamala Harris is elected.”

Haines praised Griffin for her decision to vote Democrat despite being a Republican, saying: “I think that is a big move for you as a Republican for your whole life. I see it less as voting for a Democrat and more for voting for a democracy and constitution, so I commend you for that…[You] will get torn apart but you did the right thing, and I commend you for that.”

Behar said she was feeling optimistic for Harris because Donald Trump has “deteriorated massively” in the last stages of his campaign, pointing to a viral moment from Trump’s Nov. 1 rally in Milwaukee, Wis. that saw Trump seemingly performing an oral sex act on a microphone positioned “too low.”

“That microphone should take a restraining order,” Behar said while “The View” audience laughed and cheered in approval. “What American wants their children to watch the possibility of a president of the United States simulating a sex act? He seems to be going down further and further. Not just on that microphone.”

Goldberg agreed, adding, “When we showed that piece of him with the microphone yesterday it bothered me all day and I couldn’t figure it out, and I figured it out this morning. I don’t want to hear any more parents out there nervous about what their children are being taught or frightened by drag queens reading books to your kids. If what you saw him do did not disgust you enough to protect your kids, I don’t want to hear from you anymore.”

The View” hosts have been outspoken against Trump throughout election season, so much so that Trump was at a campaign event in Reading, Pa. last month when he called “The View” hosts “really dumb people.” He then remembered hiring Goldberg once for a comedy event at one of his casinos, but he criticized her act for being “filthy dirty” and “disgusting.”

“I was filthy, and stand on that fact. I have always been filthy, and you knew that when you hired me,” Goldberg fired back at Trump after the rally. “I headlined, babe, at your casino, which I might’ve continued to play had you not run it into the ground. How dumb are you? You hired me four times. You didn’t know what you were getting? How dumb are you?”

Goldberg ended the Election Day episode of “The View” by calling for unity on voting lines, saying: “I would like to say something to folks who are out there voting who are out on lines and stuff, if you see other voters being harassed, call somebody. Call a cop. Call someone. A woman was punched in the stomach in Florida. She wasn’t doing anything…if we stick together and we say we’re not going to let you do that. We’re not going to let you harass people. We have to do something.”
