Fans were furious by the interruption and expressed that on X Formerly Twitter. One fan said: “This isnt news worthy of breaking into programming. Maybe your network reporting every time trump passes gas brought us to this moment where he still sucks all the oxygen out of the room.” A second fan said: “Put #TheView back on.” Another inquired: “All the local news networks have a 12 noon news broadcast. They can’t fookin wait?” A fourth fan said: “This BULLS— is not ‘breaking news!'”
The special report was about President Joe Biden welcoming newly President-Elect Donald Trump for the transition of power step in the process. The traditional step is usually done, but Trump scorned it in 2020. While talking to the press, Trump seemed to welcome the tradition as he and Biden discussed the transfer of power behind a fireplace.
Both men shook hands while Biden congratulated Trump and said he was “looking forward to “having a smooth transition.” He also promised to help in accommodating Trump with the process and Trump thanked Biden afterwards.
“Politics is tough, and it’s, in many cases, not a very nice world but it is a nice world today,” Trump said. “And I appreciate it very much. A transition thats so smooth, it’ll be as smooth as it can get, and I very much appreciate that, Joe.”
The report also mentioned Trump’s cabinets picks such as Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy as well as Vice President Kamala Harris returning to the White House since the election results.
