This cycle was seen as a struggle for the Democratic Party.

They just want lower prices, better jobs, and the police to come when they call.”
Shortly after Maher's video, Hostin said she recognized that “as a country, it is very difficult for people to believe that racism and misogyny are alive and well.”

Farrah Griffin said Maher's “point is that people didn't vote for him because of racism or misogyny, they voted for him because they felt like the biggest thing in this election.'' I think the common thread is that people want a good life and the ability to provide.” for their families. ”

“Black people… are one of the poorest demographics in this country, and yet they voted for Kamala Harris,” Hostin said.

Hostin interjected again, later saying, “Statistics are statistics.”
“But that's different. You can't say, 'I'm white, I voted for Donald Trump because of racism,'” Farrah Griffin said.
The two women had further discussion, but co-host Whoopi Goldberg later intervened and appeared to try to quell the discussion.
