Kamala Harris Shamelessly Lies, Claiming 2024 Was The ‘Closest Election Of The 21st Century’

Former Vice President Kamala Harris falsely stated during a Tuesday appearance on “The View” that the 2024 presidential election was the “closest” of the 21st century.

The closest election in the 21st election was the Election of 2000, when former President George W. Bush won the Electoral College 271-266 electoral votes against former Democratic presidential nominee Al Gore. During her appearance on “The View,” Harris insisted that she hardly lost to President Donald Trump despite not winning a single swing state and becoming the first Democrat in two decades to lose the popular vote.

“This is unprecedented, think about this. There’s a race for president of the United States, the current sitting president is running for reelection. Three-and-a-half months from the election, he decides not to run,” Harris said. “The sitting vice president then takes the mantle, running against a former president of the United States who had been running for ten years with 107 days before the election. And by the way, another piece of what is unprecedented and a bit historical about that race, it is the closest presidential race in the 21st century in terms of the outcome.” (RELATED: MSNBC Anchor Rachel Maddow Presses Kamala Harris On Buttigieg Sexuality Comments.

WATCH:

Aside from the 2000 election, the 2020 presidential election also had a narrower margin than 2024. During the 2020 election, former President Joe Biden won 74 more electoral votes than Trump, while Trump attained 86 more electoral votes than Harris in 2024.

Harris credited her loss with only having 107 days to launch her presidential race against Trump after Biden dropped out on July 21, 2024. She wrote in her new book, “107 Days,” that she grew frustrated with Biden and his staff for allegedly under-appreciating her.

The former vice president also wrote that while former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg was her first choice to be her running mate, she did not pick him because she did not think voters would support a gay man.
