Joy Reid blames 'patriarchy' for Harris's loss in North Carolina
MSNBC host Joy Reid on Tuesday blamed the "patriarchy" for Vice President Kamala Harris's projected loss in North Carolina.
The swing state's 16 electoral votes are expected to go to former President Donald Trump, according to the Associated Press. Reid cited the significant gender gap between men and women as a major contributing factor to the loss.
"Black voters came through for Kamala Harris, white women voters did not," Reid said during MSNBC's election night coverage.
She added the state has largely opposed pro-abortion legislation, presenting concerns for some female residents of the Tarheel State.
"This would be the second opportunity white women in this country have to change the way they interact with the patriarchy," Reid added.
The liberal host has made other controversial claims in the lead up to the 2024 presidential election. Reid in August described Sen. Mark Kelly, D-Ariz., as the "safest" running mate pick for Harris partly because he is White like a "mayonnaise sandwich on Wonder bread."
Sen. Kelly was reportedly among several candidates Harris considered as her running mate before choosing Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz.
