“The View” co-host Sunny Hostin demanded that critics of Vice President Kamala Harris stop suggesting that she “didn’t earn” the 2024 presidential nomination — despite the fact that she has essentially been coronated as the new Democratic presidential candidate without winning a single primary vote on her own merits.

Hostin and her co-hosts reacted to Harris declaring herself the de facto nominee less than 48 hours after President Joe Biden — who has not been seen publicly in days — announced via a letter shared on X that he was leaving the 2024 campaign, posting a short time later that he was endorsing Harris to pick up where he’d left off.

“You know what I think? I think that they recognize they’re in trouble now with Kamala at the head of the ticket,” Hostin began, arguing that in her mind, people would respond to the optics of “pitting a former prosecutor against a convicted felon.”

WATCH:

Hostin went on to claim that it was a “fallacy that black men are gonna vote for Trump” because there was a phone call with an activist group called Win With Black Men, and they raised more than $1 million for Harris. She also suggested that all black women would vote for Harris.

“What I will say is stop with the ‘she didn’t earn it,'” Hostin demanded. “Stop with the ‘she is not qualified.'”

Hostin then claimed that because Harris was a black woman, she had to be “twice as good to get half as far.”

She did not mention the fact that when Harris ran her own presidential campaign beginning in 2019, she did not even make it to 2020 before lack of support caused her to exit the race. Hostin did not mention the fact that Harris was chosen to be Biden’s vice president only after he promised to select a woman of color. She also completely ignored the fact that Harris did not receive a single primary vote at the top of the ticket and had simply claimed ownership of the nomination after racking up some cash and a few high-profile endorsements.
