Marjorie Taylor Greene Won Over ABC Execs During ‘The View,’ Felt Like a ‘Screen Test in Real Time’
Opinionated congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene soft-auditioned for The View with her thoughtful, even-tempered appearance on the all-gal talk show — and ABC execs were shocked and impressed by the Republican from Georgia, sources say.
In a jaw-dropping pivot from her usual flamethrower persona, Greene, 51, broke with President Donald Trump, calling for “women of maturity” to unite and scolding Speaker Mike Johnson on live TV — and the audience applauded instead of booed.
“She was calmer than half the panel,” a network producer notes. “It felt like we were watching her screen test in real time.”
ABC brass have spent months hunting for a right-leaning firebrand who can spar without detonating, insiders say, adding that Greene’s “soft rollout” didn’t go unnoticed by those in charge.
“She came across as a disrupter — but one who can play ball,” a senior daytime exec confides.
Hollywood certainly loves a makeover, but as one producer puts it bluntly: “The only thing stopping her is a bigger job — she’s seriously eyeing the 2028 presidential race. That’s a better gig than The View.”
