There has been much speculation that the conservative pundit would not return to the show as she regularly had heated and sometimes bitter debates with the other talking heads on the program.
There were even reports that all the other hosts had stopped talking to Meghan behind the scenes.
But she commented directly on the matter in August, leaving no doubt that she intended to return.

Like all shows, The View has had to change format significantly this year in the face of the coronavirus pandemic.
Episodes have been filmed pretty much throughout the year, but the show’s twitter account itself announced that McCain will be in the studio proper Monday ‘when @TheView LIVE returns for our first show of 2021!’
