Meghan McCain react to the Senate unanimously approving a $2 trillion bipartisan stimulus package in response to the coronavirus

“The View” co-hosts react to the Senate unanimously approving a $2 trillion bipartisan stimulus package in response to the coronavirus pandemic as unemployment claims surpass a record 3 million.




The pregnant ABC talk show co-host returned to the screen Wednesday after announcing she and husband Ben Domenech were expecting days earlier. Phoning into The View via video call, McCain thanked her viewers and co-hosts for all their support during this "bittersweet" time in her life.
"There’s just a lot of people in a lot of pain right now," she said of the reason for her mixed emotions. "I just keep trying to remind myself that people have had babies in much worse and much more intense conditions and this is just how it’s going to be for a while."
McCain said there "will be a time and a place" to celebrate her pregnancy more, but for now, "America just wants to talk about the coronavirus."
"Anytime people are celebrating the possibility of a birth, I think it’s a good thing," moderator Whoopi Goldberg reassured her. "People are looking for things to celebrate so you’ve just given folks a nice little bump of celebration."


McCain announced she was expecting nine months after a miscarriage, sharing the news Sunday on Instagram. "My husband Ben and I have been blessed to find out I'm pregnant," she wrote. "Although this isn't how I expected to announce my pregnancy, both we and our families are excited to share the news with your all. I consulted with my doctors and they advised me that for the safety of our baby and myself, I should be extra vigilant about limiting the amount of people we come in contact with."
McCain started self-quarantining immediately "as a precaution to prevent the spread of COVID-19," thanking ABC executives for allowing her to film the show remotely.
"I also want to acknowledge the heroes — the doctors, nurses,grocery and pharmacy workers, journalists, police officers, fireman and military — who are on the front lines of this fight," McCain concluded. "Please stay safe. Wash your hands and avoid public gatherings and I will continue to see you each morning on The View."
