One Of ‘The View’s First Guests Back From Summer Break Will Be Must-Watch TV

Supreme Court Associate Justice Sonia Sotomayor will be one of the first guests to appear on “The View” when the co-hosts return from their hiatus in September.

Sotomayor will appear on the daytime talk show on Sept. 9, one day following the program’s season premiere, Variety reported on Monday. The co-hosts went on their summer hiatus for the entire month of August following the conclusion of its previous season.

Sotomayor is one of the three liberal justices on the court who appears to be aligned with the co-hosts on several issues, including abortion and affirmative action. In June 2022, she dissented from the landmark decision, Dobbs v. Women’s Health Organization, which overturned Roe v. Wade and returned the regulation of abortion laws to the states.

The Obama-appointed justice also claimed that the high court’s ruling outlawing affirmative action would “entrench racial segregation” in colleges and universities. In a 6-3 decision, the court banned the use of race as a standalone factor in college admissions decisions in June 2023.

“The View” co-hosts did not invite a single conservative or a supporter of President Donald Trump on its program in 2025, despite their discussions about politics on a daily basis, according to a study by Newsbusters. The co-hosts tended to gush and honor their liberal and far-left guests, including Democratic Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett, whom co-host Whoopi Goldberg could not seem to get enough of during a June 19 segment.

The program infamously interviewed former Vice President Kamala Harris ahead of the 2024 election, where she stated that “nothing [came] to mind” on what she would “do differently” from former President Joe Biden.

Goldberg raged at ex-MSNBC host Mehdi Hassan in April 2024 for calling on Sotomayor to step down from the court for “the sake of us all.”
