In a recent interview, former President Joe Biden discussed his views on the 2024 election results, stating he wasn't surprised by Trump's victory over Kamala Harris. He acknowledged Harris's qualifications but emphasized the challenges posed by systemic sexism during the campaign. Biden also pointed out that voter turnout significantly dropped, attributing this decline partly to the lasting effects of the COVID pandemic. He expressed disappointment in the Democrats' losses and commented on Harris's future political decisions, revealing an ongoing dialogue with her regarding her options.
"I wasn't surprised, not because I didn't think the vice president wasn't the most qualified person to be president. She is."
"A lot of people didn't show up," Biden said.
"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."
"I think we underestimate the phenomenal negative impact that COVID had and the pandemic had on people, on attitudes, on optimism, on a whole range of things."
