Joy Behar claimed Friday that former Vice President Joe Biden could defeat President Donald Trump in November even if he was “locked in a trunk.”

Behar expressed her confidence in Biden during a discussion on ABC’s “The View” about how the coronavirus pandemic was impacting candidates and their ability to run a successful campaign. (RELATED: Will They ‘Sign Away Their Right To Treatment?’: Joy Behar Slams Michigan Lockdown Protesters)

Co-host Whoopi Goldberg opened the segment with a Washington Post article that suggested Biden might have a hard time campaigning due to coronavirus dominating news coverage on a daily basis.

“You know who is on television every five minutes,” Goldberg said, referencing Trump. “So do you think this is going to be an issue for him? Does he need to compete with the virus stuff that you know who is talking about? Joy?”

“Well, I thought you were going to say ‘with the virus named Donald Trump,'” Behar joked. “That was weird, but, you know, I’m thinking it’s very hard for Joe Biden right now because you have these daily briefings also known as rallies that Trump is holding every afternoon for hours.”

But Behar went on to say that she still had confidence in Biden’s popularity.

“The truth of the matter is that even if Joe Biden was locked in a trunk in a basement in the middle of the Canary Islands, he would still win this election,” Behar claimed. “That’s how bad his opponent is. I’m not worried about it that much because everybody knows Joe Biden. It’s like having a relative that you haven’t seen for awhile, but you know he’s great.”

Meghan McCain made it clear that she was not ready to call the election just yet.

“I think he’s doing what he can,” McCain said of Biden, mentioning his podcast and the fact that he was continuing to do interviews and social media updates from home. “In all campaigns, there’s going to be at least one big crisis of some kind. I think this is a much bigger crisis than anyone could have anticipated.”

McCain also argued that the pulpit Trump had due to the near constant updates on coronavirus would be very difficult for Biden to match. (RELATED: ‘Lead By Example!’: Meghan McCain Rips Into De Blasio For Gym Outing Amid Coronavirus Fears)

“I don’t think Democrats should get too far out over their skis because it — I think back in 2016 it was sort of unheard of that Trump could win the first time around,” she said. “And I think these polls coming out especially in swing states aren’t totally leaning towards Joe Biden in a way I would be comfortable with if I were working on his campaign.”

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
