Biden Slams America For Going ‘The Sexist Route’ By Not Electing ‘A Woman Of Mixed Race’

President Biden recently shared his thoughts on past election outcomes during a public appearance, touching on issues of gender and race in politics. His comments have sparked conversations around representation and voter bias.

In a recent appearance on ABC’s The View, President Biden reflected on the challenges faced by his former running mate, Kamala Harris, during the 2024 presidential election. Instead of addressing the more obvious issues that contributed to her poor performance, such as the unpopularity of her platform or the impact of ongoing political crises like inflation and rising crime rates, Biden shifted the focus to sexism. He suggested that the Trump campaign had successfully targeted Harris’ gender and race, implying that the opposition relied heavily on “sexist” attacks to undermine her candidacy. Biden argued that the attacks on Harris were not only gender-based but also racially charged, pointing out that the notion of a woman of mixed race leading the country was continually undercut by the Trump campaign.

“I’ve never seen quite, uh, as successful and consistent campaign undercutting the notion that a woman couldn’t lead the country—and a woman of mixed race,” Biden said during the interview. This perspective appears to be a response to the broader political climate that made Harris’ race and gender a focal point for critics, though many felt that the reasons for her poor campaign performance were more tied to her messaging and the public’s dissatisfaction with the current administration’s handling of key issues.

Biden went on to suggest that the campaign’s “sexist route” was highly effective, and despite his joking tone toward the end of the interview, his comments sparked a wave of debate. Some have criticized his focus on sexism as an excuse for Harris’ campaign failings, arguing that it distracts from the real, substantive issues that undermined her ability to resonate with voters. His comments were particularly noteworthy given the larger context of Harris’ campaign, which was seen by many as incoherent and out of touch with the public’s growing concerns about inflation, crime, and the administration’s handling of illegal immigration.

In the same interview, Biden also addressed a controversial moment from Harris’ campaign, which occurred earlier in the election cycle during another appearance on The View in October 2024. Harris had faced backlash for claiming that she wouldn’t change “a thing” about the Biden administration’s policies, a statement that was widely criticized for signaling a lack of independence and a failure to differentiate herself from the president’s record. Biden was asked whether he had encouraged Harris to avoid distinguishing her agenda from his, and he denied any involvement in that decision. He clarified that he believed Harris was simply referring to the successes of the administration, not suggesting she wouldn’t pursue her own agenda if elected.

Despite his defense of Harris’ statement, Biden acknowledged that her message didn’t land well with voters. He reiterated that Harris “has to be her own person,” but the controversy around her lack of a distinct vision for the future only added to the criticism of her candidacy. These remarks have contributed to growing frustration among some of Biden’s critics, who argue that his reflections on the campaign avoid addressing the real reasons for Harris’ political struggles.

Overall, Biden’s comments about sexism and Harris’ campaign stumbles have sparked a mix of reactions, with some expressing relief that he is no longer in the White House. His focus on sexism as a key factor in the election’s outcome has drawn both support and skepticism, as many argue that Harris’ struggles were rooted more in her political positioning and the broader challenges of the Biden administration.
