Overview
- Obama cited Donald Trump’s 2024 victory over Kamala Harris in explaining her stance and said many men still resist being led by a woman.
- Alyssa Farah Griffin countered on The View that Hillary Clinton and Harris were flawed candidates, drawing pushback from cohosts and the audience.
- Sunny Hostin agreed with Obama’s skepticism, saying a woman will not be president in her lifetime and later specifying that a white conservative woman might win first.
- Joy Behar suggested the first female president could plausibly be a conservative, floating Liz Cheney as an example despite her current standing in the GOP.
- Stephen A. Smith challenged Obama’s conclusion, pointing to recent female gubernatorial winners and Clinton’s 2016 popular-vote margin as evidence voters support women in top roles.
