Kamala Harris compares election night grief to loss of her mother on The View
Kamala Harris reveals how election defeat was as painful as death of her mother
- Kamala Harris compared the grief of losing the 2024 presidential election to the pain she experienced after her mother's death.
- Appearing on 'The View' to discuss her memoir '107 Days', Harris described reflecting on the election loss as one of the most difficult parts to write: ‘that night, I grieved in a way that I have not since my mother died.’
- She clarified that her pain stemmed from what the election outcome meant for the country, rather than the personal loss of the race, attributing the defeat partly to insufficient time.
- Harris disagreed with suggestions that racism and sexism were primary factors in her loss, expressing belief that a woman president will eventually be elected.
- She criticised Donald Trump, who won the election, claiming he lied, weaponised the Department of Justice, silenced critics, and acted like an 'emperor' to fulfil his ego.
