Story summary

On October 16, 2026, co-hosts of "The View" cast doubt on Kamala Harris's viability as a Democratic presidential candidate for the 2028 election. During an interview with podcaster Keke Palmer earlier that week, Harris had laughed off questions about her potential candidacy but remained noncommittal. However, Ana Navarro and guest host Raven-Symone raised concerns about racial and gender discrimination in American politics, citing a significant rise in racist and misogynistic content online when Joe Biden dropped out of the 2024 election. Specifically, posts targeting Harris increased by 525% for racism and 2,328% for misogyny. Raven-Symone stated that "a Black woman could not be elected president in America," highlighting perceived barriers to progress within U.S. politics. This debate reflects ongoing challenges faced by minority candidates running for the highest office.
