Joe Biden Tells ‘The View’ That He Wasn’t Surprised That Donald Trump Won 2024 Election, Blames Sexism And Covid On Kamala Harris’ Loss
In his first U.S. sitdown interview since leaving office, Joe Biden said that he was not surprised when Donald Trump defeated Kamala Harris and won the 2024 election.
“I was very disappointed, but I was not surprised,” Biden told the hosts of ABC’s The View.
He said that didn’t mean that he thought that Harris was the most qualified to be president. Instead, he said that the Trump team “went the sexist route” by casting doubt that a woman can be president, and also by playing the race card.
“I have never seen as successful and quite as consistent a campaign undercutting the notion that a woman couldn’t lead the country, and a woman of mixed race,” Biden said.
He also said that “we underestimate the the phenomenal impact that Covid and the pandemic” had, as the disruptions continued to impact voters views of the country.
