Everyone knew Kamala couldn’t win — even Joe.
Former President Joe Biden admitted Thursday he “wasn’t surprised” Donald Trump steamrolled Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election.
“I wasn’t surprised — not because I didn’t think the Vice President isn’t qualified; she is. She’s qualified to be president of the United States of America,” Biden said on ABC’s The View — despite a halting, awkward appearance that raised eyebrows.
“But I wasn’t surprised because they went the route — they went the sexist route,” Biden added. “This is a woman…she’s this…she’s that — but I’ve never seen quite a successful or consistent campaign undercutting the notion that a woman cannot leave the country and a woman of mixed race.”
Biden insisted he would’ve won if he hadn’t dropped out, blaming low turnout and noting Trump got “7 million fewer votes” than in 2020.
“A lot of people didn’t show up,” Biden said — but critics say they just didn’t show up for Democrats.
Co-host Sunny Hostin confronted Biden on Kamala’s View appearance when she said she wouldn’t have changed “a thing” about how Biden handled his term, despite plummeting polling numbers.
“I did not advise her to say that,” said Biden.
“I think she was talking about — she wouldn’t have changed the successes we had … as opposed to that we wouldn’t change anything at all.”
“She has to be her own person — and she was,” he offered, before adding: “We’d argue like hell by the way.”
