Joy Reid Says White Women Voters Didn’t Back Kamala Harris

Joy Reid is weighing in on the 2024 election, pointing out that white women voters didn’t show up for Kamala Harris in North Carolina.

During MSNBC’s election coverage last night, Joy Reid stated,

“Black voters came through for Kamala Harris; white women voters did not. That is what appears to have happened in that state.”

She continued by emphasizing the Democratic Party’s focus on women’s rights, especially reproductive rights, which ultimately wasn’t enough to sway white women voters in North Carolina.

She said,

“That message obviously was not enough to get enough white women to vote for Vice President Harris, a fellow woman.”

She continued,

“This would be the second opportunity that white women in this country have to change the way they interact with the patriarchy. But if people aren’t receptive to it, and if people vote more along party lines or more on race than on protecting their gender… there’s really not much more that you can do but tell people what the risks are and leave it to them to do the right thing.”

Her analysis on what happened in North Carolina may reflect a broader trend across the country, as Donald Trump was projected the winner with 277 electoral votes, according to the Associated Press.
