NEWSSunny Hostin Slammed for Insisting Joe Biden 'Will Lose the Black Vote' If He Drops Kamala Harris
Sunny Hostin sparked quite the heated conversation on The View as the co-hosts discussed the 2024 election.
As the women talked about Kamala Harris' decreasing popularity on the Thursday, September 14, episode, the author made it clear that Joe Biden needs to keep his VP candidate by his side.
Sunny Hostin will not vote for Joe Biden is Kamala Harris isn't by his side.
"Over the past five elections, where you’ve had a Democrat win, they needed the Black vote. Ninety-one percent of African-Americans voted for Biden and will continue to vote for Biden if Kamala is his running mate," Hostin said before giving a direct message to the POTUS. "I would be very careful, President Biden, about getting rid of Kamala Harris, because we will not support you."
Her words didn't with sit well with Whoopi Goldberg, who instantly replied, "Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait! Hold up!"
It's believed that Joe Biden will keep Kamala Harris as his running mate for the 2024 election.
"I know your opinion is valid and beautiful and all of that," she told her co-host, "but when was the last time you saw anybody get rid of a vice president?"
After some of the women offered their opinions, Hostin once again emphasized her stance, declaring, "If Biden gets rid of Kamala Harris and inserts someone else, he will lose the Black vote."
