00:00Kamala Harris grieved for the country when she lost traumatic 2024 election to Donald Trump.
00:06I knew what it was going to mean.
00:08Former Vice President Kamala Harris appeared on The View for the first time since losing the 2024 presidential election to Donald Trump.
00:17Harris appeared on the Tuesday, September 23rd episode to discuss her newly released book, 107 Days,
00:23which recounts exactly what happened when she replaced Joe Biden in the polls last year.
00:28When the women of the ABC show asked her what went through her mind the night of the election, she spilled.
00:34That chapter in the book was probably one of the most difficult things that I had to reflect on and write about.
00:40In fact, Doug Emhoff and I, my husband, it wasn't until I was writing that chapter that we'd ever talked about election night, Harris admitted.
00:48To which Joy Behar asked, because it felt traumatic?
00:51It was that traumatic, she responded.
00:53The attorney explained she was with her family that night, and things took a turn south when she found out Trump was leading the polls in Pennsylvania, a crucial swing state.
01:03That night, I grieved in a way that I have not since my mother died, Harris admitted of the outcome.
01:09And the pain was not at all about losing a race.
01:11I knew what it was going to mean for the country.
01:14I knew what it was going to mean.
01:15And all I could say over and over again was, my God, my God, my God.
01:21It was very difficult, she continued.
01:24Many people experienced it in different ways.
01:27Elsewhere in her interview, Sonny Hastine brought up Harris's 2024 appearance on the talk show, which many thought hurt her campaign.
01:34You were here 28 days before the election, and I asked you if there was anything you would have done differently than President Biden during the past four years.
01:42You said, there is not a thing that comes to mind.
01:44You write, you had no idea you just pulled the pin on a hand grenade.
01:48Hosten stated, in the moment I knew, the TV star confessed.
01:53The co-host noted that some people considered Harris's answer a turning point in the candidacy, prompting Hosten to ask the Democrat,
02:00do you think that moment tipped the election?
02:02No, Harris replied, prompting Bihar to quip, good, because Sonny doesn't want to take the blame.
02:08The comedian's joke prompted the co-stars, Harris, and the live audience to burst into laughter.
02:14No, no, there were many things that caused the loss, she insisted.
