Younger men threw their support behind Donald Trump in 2024 after favoring Biden in 2020

The United States is still not ready for a female president after more than a century of unsuccessful campaigns for the White House, according to former First Lady Michelle Obama.

“As we saw in this past election, sadly, we ain’t ready,” Obama said earlier this month in a live conversation with actor Tracee Ellis Ross that was published Friday.

“That’s why I’m like, don’t even look at me about running, because you all are lying,” she said. “You’re not ready for a woman. You are not. So don’t waste my time.”

    TBF we elected the white man with the exact same platform and owners as Kamala.

    The only real difference between her and Biden was her skin color and gender.

      There were many many other differences, you just choose not to see them. The main example being that for Kamala’s election we just had 4 years of Democrat ruling so voters with a gnat attention span already forgot what Trump was like.

          The incumbent party rarely does as well in the second term election as they did in the first term.

          The difference between the two candidates was 2020 vs 2024.

          Harris would have won in 2020. And if she had, she probably would have won in 2024.

            Harris was the least popular candidate in 2020, she likely would have lost in 2020, which would have probably been better as trump would already be gone.

              Least popular Democratic candidate in 2020. After Trump’s first term, any Democrat but Hillary would have won.
