Meghan McCain Pays Heartfelt Tribute to Co-Host Sara Haines On Her Last Day

Posted byBy Tanasia Kenney | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Meghan McCain took to Twitter on Thursday to congratulate fellow “View” co-host Sara Haines on her new job in a heartfelt goodbye message.

Last month, ABC announced Haines would be leaving the daytime talk show to join “Good Morning America’s” Michael Strahan for the launch of the show’s third hour, “Good Morning America Day.” The show is set to premiere on Monday, Sept. 10 at 1 p.m. EDT/noon PDT, according to USA TODAY.

“I’ll miss you terribly @sarahaines – you’re all sunshine and it’s been an absolute pleasure working with you,” McCain wrote. “Can’t wait to watch you and @michaelstrahan on Good Morning America Day!”

Thursday marked Haines’ last day on the ABC talk show after two seasons. The waterworks flowed after a highlight reel of her best moments, as Haines gave an emotional goodbye to her four co-hosts, those who worked on the show and the millions of viewers at home.

” … It has been an honor, a privilege and an absolute dream to work here at this show,” Haines said through tears. “From the many people that you guys will never see behind the cameras who have become lifelong friends — they’re not going anywhere — to dear friends I have made at this table who are absolutely TV gold.”

“You guys are strong, empowered, opinionated women and for anyone who’s ever been in a sport, you know the best team members are the ones who lift you up and make you better and you guys did that for me,” she added. “I love this view and I love all of you.

Co-host Sunny Hostin choked back tears, while McCain and longtime host Joy Behar managed to keep their eyes dry during the heartfelt moment.

“The two wicked witches, we don’t cry,” said Behar, jokingly.

Host Whoopi Goldberg also said her goodbyes, noting that while she was “thrilled” about Haines’ new chapter, she was also “bummed” to see her leave.

Haines then closed the show by reciting their motto: “Have a great day everyone and take a little time to enjoy ‘The View.'”

“GMA Day” will replace food-themed talk show “The Chew,” which was canceled last year.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
