Sunny Hostin Argues the Lesson From Dems’ Election Wins Is ‘When They Go Low, You Go Lower!’

One of Sunny Hostin’s biggest takeaways from Democrats’ election victories on Tuesday night is that when Republicans “go low,” Democrats need to “go lower” and act like the “opposition” party.

On Wednesday’s The View, Hostin celebrated Democratic victories in New York, Virginia, and elsewhere, specifically praising Zohran Mamdani, who won New York City’s mayoral race, as a “special” politician.

She said:

I think that what it taught us is that the Democratic Party is a big tent party. It’s an inclusive party. We have a man who is the first Muslim mayor of New York City, who is a very, very important politician. I think he’s a very special politician and I think people want change. And so he may not be the face of the Democratic party, but what is the face the Democratic Party? There are many faces. There are women. There are centrists. There are independents. There are Muslims. There are immigrants. And so I think that is a huge takeaway.

Hostin then brought up Prop 50 in California, a ballot measure that easily passed, which will see redistricting in the state that largely benefits Democrats. Hostin said she wanted to see more moves like this by Democrats. Prop 50 in California, the View co-host argued, is the “roadmap” for how Democrats “become the opposition party” they need to be under President Donald Trump.

She said:

The other huge takeaway for me that I don’t think enough people are talking about is what happened in California with Prop 50. That for me was a huge, huge takeaway because that is the roadmap for how Democrats become the opposition party. You meet energy with energy. When they go low, you go lower. I am sorry, but that is where we are now. We need that opposition, and I think we saw that last night.
