Ana Navarro to Host DNC Night

Ana Navarro, CNN senior political commentator and co-host of "The View," recently shared her reasons for accepting the hosting role for night two of the Democratic National Convention. Despite being a registered Republican, Navarro has distanced herself from the party since 2016, particularly after Donald Trump became the GOP nominee. She expressed her enthusiasm for supporting Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, stating, "I did all I could to get Joe Biden elected," and highlighted the celebratory atmosphere of the Democratic convention compared to the "gloom and doom" she associates with Republican events. Navarro received the hosting offer during a phone call when Biden was still the nominee and accepted without hesitation. She believes the current campaign has resonated with voters due to its authenticity and joyfulness, stating, "You can make progress, and you can do it while still having fun and being authentic." This sentiment reflects her view that the Democratic Party is fostering a more positive and inclusive environment. Addressing the scrutiny Kamala Harris faces regarding her handling of the border crisis, Navarro pointed to external factors that have complicated immigration reform. She noted that a previous immigration deal fell through due to Trump’s intervention, which she claims was aimed at undermining Biden's candidacy. As immigration remains a critical issue for voters, Navarro emphasized the need for the Biden administration to address concerns over border enforcement, as indicated by recent polling data.
