‘That’s Good’: MSNBC Host Applauds DNC Chair Candidates Blaming ‘Racism And Misogyny’ For Kamala’s 2024 Loss

MSNBC host Jonathan Capehart told candidates seeking to chair the Democratic National Committee they “passed” when they blamed “racism and misogyny” for former Vice President Kamala Harris’ defeat in the 2024 election.

President-elect Donald Trump secured the 270 electoral votes necessary to win the presidency early in the morning of Nov. 6, 2024, fueled by increased support from black and Hispanic voters compared to his previous campaigns. Capehart asked for a show of hands among the contenders when he asked the question during a forum in a video clip posted on X late Thursday.

“So, I’m going to have a show of hands. How many of you believe that racism and misogyny played a role in Vice President Harris’ defeat?” Capehart asked the contenders.

All eight of the contenders, including former Democratic Gov. Martin O’Malley of Maryland, state Democratic Party chairmen Ben Wikler of Wisconsin and Ken Martin of Minnesota, former Democratic Mayor Rahm Emanuel of Chicago, and former Democratic presidential candidate Marianne Williamson, raised their hands in response.

“Okay. So… That’s good, you all passed,” Capehart said.

Trump has increased his support among minority voters across his three presidential campaigns. Trump carried 46% of the Hispanic vote, 40% of the Asian vote and 13% of the black vote while defeating Harris in 2024,
