  "account": "On Tuesday morning, the hosts of \"The View\" expressed bewilderment after viewing a segment from a recent CNN interview with California Governor Gavin Newsom. The unusual setting for the interview was the Montana river where Newsom was fly fishing alongside CNN anchor Jake Tapper. The erratic nature of the interview led to Whoopi Goldberg's confusion as she remarked, \"It just seems such an odd place to have an interview.\" Joy Behar added humorously that \"CNN keeps moving, so maybe they're gonna do it in the water from now on.\" In contrast, hosts Sara Haines and Sunny Hostin found the whole scenario puzzling, with Haines stating, \"He just feels awkward.\" Farah Griffin echoed the sentiment, saying, \"He just feels awkward.\" Eventually, the panelists delved into their opinions about Newsom's stance on the 2028 presidential race, agreeing that he should not rule himself out unless he is certain he cannot win. Haines further elaborated, \"I appreciate the loyalty he has to a fellow politician and colleague, but I don't think the presidency should be decided in the party.\" Ultimately, the hosts emphasized that the decision should lie with the voters, not the party or even fly fishing.",
