James Carville Blames 'The View' for Kamala Harris's Loss to Trump Amid Transgender Rights Debate

Nov 11, 2024, 01:36 AM

Kamala Harris suffered a significant defeat in the 2024 presidential election, losing to incumbent Donald Trump. Democratic strategist James Carville attributed Harris's loss to her appearance on 'The View,' blaming 'the ladies of The View' and stating that her campaign could be reduced to her failure to adequately answer Sunny Hostin's simple question. Trump capitalized on transgender rights, already a flashpoint in sports and schools, which he used as a potent late-campaign weapon against Harris, resonating with many voters. Voters also rejected Harris's divisive identity politics, as noted by commentators. Some Harris supporters are refusing to accept the election results, alleging that Elon Musk's company, Starlink, was involved in vote manipulation and are urging for a recount. Meanwhile, there are claims that Democrats are planning not to certify the election results.
