Joe Biden says he’s not surprised Kamala Harris lost the presidential election last year … putting the blame on sexist attitudes toward the former veep — while adding he’d have won.
The former president of the United States appeared on “The View” Thursday … and, he was asked if he was shocked when his vice president was defeated by Donald Trump in last year’s presidential race.
Joe says it doesn’t surprise him at all … pointing to sexism as a major reason Kamala lost despite how qualified she is.
JB also points to changing attitudes since COVID began … with many showing less trust in government — affecting liberal democracies everywhere across the globe.
Biden still thinks he could’ve won the race through … pointing out the battleground states were fairly close — and, he feels his candidacy would’ve swung the pendulum in the Democrats’ direction.
Trump defeated Kamala Harris in electoral votes, 312 to 226, and picked up more than 2 million more votes in the popular election, a relatively small margin of victory. Trump won the three battleground states of Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania by a cumulative total of approximately 220K votes.
Former Pres. Biden responds to reports questioning his cognitive abilities while in office, saying on #TheView, “They are wrong.”

Biden’s cognitive abilities became a major talking point last summer … and, ultimately, became the reason he had to step down as the Democratic nominee amid pressure from fellow Dems.
He also talked about allegations of cognitive decline in deeply sourced books now — all of which he vigorously denied on the show. Jill Biden — who appeared alongside her husband on “The View” — says these people who wrote the books weren’t in the White House with them, and don’t really know anything.
Trump may still have beaten Biden during the election anyway … but, the former president’s comments will certainly have many wondering “What if?”
