In the wake of former President Trump’s unprecedented victory in the 2024 election, which many are calling the greatest political comeback in American history, the mainstream media is struggling to find a way to digest the crushing defeat of Vice President Kamala Harris. Among those reeling from the loss is ABC’s *The View*, where co-host Whoopi Goldberg attempted to put a positive spin on the vice president’s lackluster campaign.
Despite Harris’s clear defeat, Goldberg seemed determined to find a silver lining. She emphasized, almost desperately, that Harris had managed to lead a campaign “in two months” after President Biden’s sudden withdrawal from the race. “Think about this. She did this in two months,” Goldberg repeatedly stated, as if the rushed nature of Harris’s candidacy should somehow be celebrated. Goldberg’s repeated insistence on the “two months” narrative was a curious attempt to downplay the glaring reality: Harris’s campaign lacked the substance, unity, and vision to sway voters, especially after Biden’s exit opened up a tumultuous leadership vacuum within the Democratic Party.
Goldberg continued, “You know, everybody can always say, ‘oh, she should have done this. She should have done this.’ She said she did what she did.” This deflection is typical of the far-left’s approach to failure—blaming everything but the candidate’s own inadequacies. Goldberg went on to claim that Harris was “everywhere” ahead of the election, suggesting that her visibility was proof of a strong campaign, despite the reality that her message failed to resonate with the American people. “She was everywhere. She talked to everybody, and people didn’t come out. I don’t know why and it doesn’t even matter,” Goldberg added, conveniently ignoring the fact that Harris’s polarizing rhetoric and lack of tangible policy proposals left many voters disillusioned.
Perhaps most revealing of Goldberg’s biased commentary was her refusal to acknowledge the reality of Trump’s resounding victory. “He’s now the president I’m still not gonna say his name,” Goldberg declared, a clear snub aimed at the man who had triumphed in a landslide. Conservative voices were quick to call out the absurdity of Goldberg’s denial, pointing to the hypocrisy of the media, which had long pushed Harris as a capable successor to Biden. Townhall shared a clip of Goldberg’s comments, mocking the attempt to gloss over the obvious failures of Harris’s candidacy: “Whoopi Goldberg trying to find the bright side: ‘She did this in two months!’ (after Democrats kicked out Biden and installed Kamala as the nominee).”
Critics on social media didn’t hold back in their condemnation of *The View* and the broader liberal media’s attempt to downplay Harris’s loss. One user lamented, “I hope this View fades out of my memory and off the air for good,” slamming the show for being a mouthpiece of the left-wing agenda. “An exorcism of legacy media needs to occur for the damage caused to the American Psyche,” the user continued, echoing widespread frustrations with the biased narratives coming from mainstream outlets.
Another critic rightly pointed out that Harris had four years in office as vice president to prove her worth, yet failed to deliver. “#WhoopiGoldberg she had four years to be a great vice president and to show America how things got done. So don’t say she only had two months,” the user tweeted. “Maybe if her and Biden would’ve done more for America this might be a different story.”
In the end, the loss of Kamala Harris and the Democratic Party’s failed campaign strategy are a direct result of their inability to offer voters anything meaningful. Harris’s campaign was all about playing identity politics, throwing around empty slogans, and making baseless accusations about half of the country. As one commenter noted, “Kamala lost not only the White House but both houses of Congress as well. Quite an accomplishment! Who knew going negative, having ZERO policy details, hiding from the media, and accusing half the country of being Nazis wasn’t a winning strategy?”
As the dust settles on this monumental election, it’s clear: the American people rejected Kamala Harris and her divisive, ungrounded approach. And no amount of spin from *The View* or the mainstream media can change that undeniable reality.
