MSNBC host Joy Reid criticized “white women” for missing a “second opportunity” to address “the patriarchy” Tuesday night by not backing Vice President Kamala Harris.
Former President Donald Trump has led Harris in multiple states as the vice president underperformed with key voting blocs. Reid claimed that black voters did their part to deny Trump a second term in the White House, but criticized other groups for lacking in their support for Harris.

“In the end, if they didn’t make their numbers and essentially exceed the numbers that Joe Biden had in the suburbs, and I think we have to be blunt about why. Black voters came through for Kamala Harris, white women voters did not. That is what it appears happened in that state,” Reid said. “[If] you can’t flip enough white women, and we talked about this on this set numerous times, is that you have a state where you have a six-week abortion or 12-week abortion [ban], I think theirs might be 12 weeks. But it’s a state where women lost their reproductive rights, where there was a very heavy push to get women to focus on not putting in place, you know, reelecting, putting back into the White House the person who was responsible for taking those rights away and restoring them.”
“But that message obviously was not enough to get enough white women to vote for Vice President Harris, a fellow woman. This will be the second opportunity that white women in this country have to change the way that they interact with the patriarchy,” Reid continued. “God bless Shannon Watts, who tried to have that conversation. If people are not receptive to it and if people vote more, you know, party line or more on race than on gender and on protecting their gender, there’s really not much you can do is tell people what the risks are and leave them to do the right thing.”
Harris has made her support for abortion a centerpiece of her campaign, after making it a top issue for Democrats in the 2022 midterm elections following the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision in June 2022 that overturned Roe v. Wade.
