Joe Biden Defends Record, Attributes Harris's 2024 Loss to Sexism and Racism

In a joint appearance on The View, the Bidens and Kamala Harris address the 2024 election defeat, party challenges, and their potential future roles.

Overview

  • Former President Joe Biden, alongside Jill Biden, appeared on The View for their first joint interview since leaving office, addressing the Democrats' 2024 election loss.
  • Biden stated he takes responsibility for Donald Trump's victory but attributed Kamala Harris's loss partly to sexism and racism in the campaign against her.
  • He defended his decision to remain in the race until July 2024, though he misstated the amount of time left for Harris to campaign after his withdrawal.
  • Kamala Harris is reportedly considering future political roles, including a potential California governor run in 2026 or a 2028 presidential bid.
  • The Bidens' reemergence has drawn mixed reactions within the Democratic Party, with some welcoming their involvement and others urging them to focus on behind-the-scenes support.
