Former Vice President Kamala Harris made a recent appearance on ABC’s The View, where she stated that the 2024 presidential race was “the closest presidential race in the 21st century in terms of the outcome,” a comment that led to a rousing round of applause from the audience. It also prompted co-host Ana Navarro to say, “You know, say that again because he likes to say over and over again that he got a mandate.”
In response to Navarro, Harris said, “Well, and that’s part of why I wrote the book, because history will talk about this race. It is part of American history. And it was important to me that when history is written, that my voice be present.” The only problem with Harris’ statement is that, as usual, it isn’t true. President Donald Trump won the popular vote by 2 million votes. He also won the Electoral College vote by 86 points.
In fact, according to a report published by Fox News, the 2000 presidential election between George W. Bush and Al Gore was far closer than the Trump and Harris race, both in terms of the popular vote and Electoral College vote. This fact was pointed out by a user on social media platform X, who shared a clip from the episode.
According to Fox, Harris, who was on the program to promote her new book, “107 Days,” which is a rehash of her failed presidential campaign, in which she also said the biggest reason she lost to Trump was due to not having enough time to campaign. “There are many factors I think that played into the outcome of that election, but I think probably one of the biggest in my mind is, we just didn’t have enough time,” she stated.
Navarro prompted Harris’ answer, stating she believed that the former vice president had the whole race sewn up going into election night, but was shocked that Trump still defeated her. “I felt so good going into Election Day, and then I read in the book that you did too. I went into Election Day thinking you were going to win,” the co-host said.
“So did you,” Navarro said, to which Harris replied, “Yeah. I did.” Navarro chimed back in, saying, “So — I mean, it was a very tight race — but, ultimately, if you have to pin it down to one thing, what was the primary reason, do you think, that you lost?” Harris then blamed her loss on only having four months to campaign after stepping in to replace former President Joe Biden.
Biden opted to step down as the Democratic Party nominee after a horrifically bad debate performance against Trump in June. Harris then told the co-hosts of the show that the whole situation was unprecedented. “And, you know, I mean, one of the reasons I wrote the book is this is unprecedented. Think about this, that there is a race for President of the United States,” she said.
“The current sitting president is running for re-election. Three-and-a-half months from the election, he decides not to run,” the former vice president continued. “The sitting vice president then takes the mantle, running against a former president of the United States who had been running for ten years — with 107 days until the election.”

Of course the barking seals applauded the delusion. What tools they all are. It’s nothing but an AWFUL circle-jerk.
The more one sees of Harris in “action”, the more one has to come to the conclusion that she is a pure dolt.
What a bunch of total bull-💩
Its funny, when Biden “Beat” Trump, they called it a landslide, yet Trump won the same states that Biden supposedly “won” and he won the popular vote yet this drunken idiot calls it a “Close election” Id ask what is she on but we already know
So a popular difference of 1.5% was the closest. By electoral votes it was the 4th closest of 6.
how long is this book tour?
The ‘Rats will never admit to the voters that they ran a candidate that didn’t win a single primary because the Party Politburo makes all the decisions on who runs and who wins.
It is all very ChiCom.
Kamala Harris could memorize the label of her favorite boxed wine and still get fact checked while trying to recite the label.
Horizontal shut it down herself.
‘Disrespectful’ Kamala Harris slammed for dodging questions in recent interviews: ‘She owes us these answers’

She blew through A BILLION DOLLAR WAR CHEST and wound up 20 million dollars in debt!.............
An often unknown fact is that Donald Trump won 2,559 counties in the 2024 election, while 421 counties voted for Kamala Harris.
Seems like a pretty significant beat down of Harris to me.
Oddly the reason they had a horrible candidate is the following:
The DNC and the party elite and monied elite knew Biden would be a horrible candidate for re-election but did not have the stones to push him aside 3 months earlier. I suspect there was some serious blackmail by Jill Biden to stop this. She had enough information to destroy the democrat party and send people to jail if she decided to go rouge, like Samson and bring the Democrat Temple down on her, Joe and the Democrat Party. The reason Joe decided not to run is the disastrous debate and then the democrat public said he needed to go. Jill Biden realized he could not be elected again. She quit fighting Joe’s ouster. The total disaster in my opinion was Jill Biden’s lust for power and she did not want to give it up.
Joe was like a phrase from Samuel Taylor’s “Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner.” “About my neck the Albatross was hung.” Joe was the Albatross around the neck of the Democrat Party.
If Joe was politically eliminated earlier they could have had primaries and perhaps an electable candidate. Harris’s lack of time to campaign was oddly advantageous for her. Each time she campaigned she went down in the polls.

we have Jill Biden to thank for 2 terms of Trump
