ABC News' "The View" has 20 more liberal guests than conservative ones before Election Day, according to a new study by the conservative media watchdog Media Research Center (MRC).
The breakdown was 21 liberal to one conservative from Sept. 8, the start of Season 30, through Nov. 3
Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, was the lone conservative guest.
Four of the guests classified as liberal were politicians: Gov. Andy Beshear (D-Ky.); Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.); Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.), and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton (D).
Clinton appeared on the show the day before Election Day alongside liberal podcast host Kara Swisher.
Although a retiring Republican senator, Tillis was included in the liberal guest count since he was on the show to discuss his anti-Trump book, "How to Lose Friends and Antagonize Presidents."
Tillis has called for Secretary of War Pete Hegseth's firing, and has publicly broken with Trump over the passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill.
In his book, Tillis wrote that he hoped Republicans would learn from midterm losses, which he predicted in early October.
"What I hope is that members of my party take the loss and learn something," he wrote, according to The New York Times, "specifically that putting party affiliation — or loyalty to one man — before your own conscience never turns out well in the end."
