On September 9, 2026, during an appearance on the ABC talk show "The View," Texas Senator Ted Cruz defended President Trump's handling of the economy and prices, earning an A grade from the hosts. However, his comments were met with collective groans and objections from the panel. Joy Behar, one of the hosts, even tried to encourage Cruz to be more honest and reminded him "it's just us!"
The Texas senator was nearly greeted with boos upon arriving, but moderator Whoopi Goldberg intervened to prevent that from happening. Despite the initial resistance, Cruz did provide his grade, though reluctantly. Host Sunny Hostin pressed him to elaborate on his grading, and Cruz reiterated his support for Trump's tax cuts and investments as positive for the economy.
The senator also argued that gas prices were a success under Trump's administration, despite the fact that they have since increased again. The exchange demonstrates the ongoing political divide and skepticism surrounding the administration's economic policies. "The View" aired the segment as part of its regular weekday programming at 11 a.m. ET on ABC.
