‘The View’s Sunny Hostin Agrees with Michelle Obama: U.S. Not Ready for a Female President
“The View” co-host Sunny Hostin publicly supported Michelle obama’s recent assertion that the United States is not yet prepared to elect a woman as president. Hostin echoed Obama’s sentiments during a discussion on the ABC talk show, reinforcing concerns about persistent gender bias in American politics.
Obama initially made the comments while speaking with Tracee Ellis Ross at the Brooklyn Academy of Music earlier this month, referencing the 2024 election outcome.She stated, “Sadly, we ain’t ready,” in response to Donald trump’s victory over Kamala Harris, and added, “You’re not ready for a woman.” Hostin’s endorsement amplifies these concerns, sparking renewed debate about the barriers women face in pursuing the highest office and the societal shifts needed to overcome them. this discussion arrives as potential female candidates begin positioning themselves for future presidential runs, highlighting the ongoing relevance of Obama’s critique.
“I agree with Michelle Obama,” Hostin stated on “The view.” “I think that there is still a lot of sexism, unluckily, in this country.” She further explained that manny voters remain uncomfortable with the idea of a woman in a position of power, a sentiment Obama also expressed, noting that “there are still, sadly, a lot of men who do not feel like they can be led by a woman, and we saw it.”
Obama emphasized the need for societal “growing up” to address these biases,adding,”Don’t even look at me about running,’cause you all are lying.” Hostin’s support suggests a broader acknowledgment within media circles of the challenges female political aspirants continue to encounter.
