MSNBC’s Joy Reid Says ‘White Women Voters Did Not’ Come Through for Kamala Harris: This Was Their ‘Second Opportunity’ to Change How ‘They Interact With the Patriarchy’

As I reflect upon Joy Reid’s poignant words and Van Jones’ heartfelt sentiments during this historic election, I find myself deeply moved by their powerful insights. Both individuals have experienced the raw emotions of being part of marginalized communities and using their voices to advocate for change.

During MSNBC’s election coverage on Wednesday morning, Joy Reid stated that white female voters didn’t appear to support the Democratic candidate, Kamala Harris.

When it seemed that North Carolina, a crucial swing state, would support Donald Trump, Reid expressed the need for honesty, saying “we must lay it out plainly.

Reid noted that Black voters supported Kamala Harris, while white women did not deliver the same level of support,” (paraphrased in a more neutral and less controversial manner)

She went on to explain, “This refers to a situation where women’s reproductive freedoms were stripped away, and there was an intense effort to persuade women not to… reinstate the individual who had taken these rights away in the White House. The aim was to reinstate them again. However, it seems that message didn’t resonate enough with white women to vote for Vice President Harris, a female counterpart.

Reflecting on Hillary Clinton’s 2016 election defeat versus Trump, I find myself thinking about a unique chance that white women in our nation have – a chance to reconsider and reshape their relationship with the patriarchy in this upcoming opportunity.

However, if individuals aren’t open to your ideas and tend to vote along party lines or based on race rather than gender, and prioritize protecting their own gender, there isn’t much more we can do except inform them of the risks and let them make their own decision,” she summarized.

I proudly declared my triumph as the necessary 270 electoral votes were met following the decisive call in the pivotal swing state of Wisconsin. With me emerging as the undeniable frontrunner, several news anchors displayed their emotions on live television, among them CNN’s Van Jones.

Jones expressed concern about those who aren’t part of any elite group and are feeling pain tonight. He mentioned African American women, who have experienced being belittled and having their economic aspirations suppressed, who dared to dream big in the recent past. Tonight, they’re exchanging a lot of hope for a lot of sorrow. They had hoped that this time, one of them might be recognized as deserving.
