Charlamagne tha God Tells Chris Wallace He Doesn’t Think America ‘Would Ever Elect A Woman President’

Radio host Charlamagne Tha God told CNN anchor Chris Wallace that he doesn’t think “this country would ever elect a woman president.”

Wallace interviewed Charlamagne for this week’s edition of his Max series Who’s Talking to Chris Wallace on a variety of topics, including politics.

In a preview clip obtained by Mediaite, Wallace asked the Breakfast Club co-host about the 2024 presidential election, and whether there’s a better matchup than the President Joe Biden vs. ex-President Donald Trump rematch that’s shaping up.

Along the way, the subject of a Democratic bench that includes strong effective women came up, but Charlamagne said “patriarchy” will always win out:

WALLACE: How do you feel about, what sure looks now, like is going to be a Biden, Trump rematch?

CHARLAMAGNE THA GOD: I think America deserves better. I think America can do better. I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where these are our only two options. And you know, I just feel like you know, the two-party system in America might have run its course.

WALLACE: Well, you made your joke about Biden being 160 a few years ago. Do you think he should drop out and let — just open the field? Let the Democrats governors, senators, choose who’s going to be the nominee?

CHARLAMAGNE THA GOD: You can’t if everybody calling for him to drop out, you know, it would only make sense if you have a plan B. Like what are the other options? Like you know, the Democratic Party bench seems very, very, very, very, very thin.

WALLACE: I gotta tell you, I disagree with that. I think there’s — well, I think there’s some really good governors, Gretchen Whitmer in Michigan.

CHARLAMAGNE THA GOD: I don’t think this country would ever elect a woman president. I really do. Hillary, you know, got my hopes up. But I think that this country is a lot more sexist than it leads on?

WALLACE: Do you think it’s more sexist than racist because we did elect Barack Obama.

CHARLAMAGNE THA GOD: Yeah, well, I’m not gonna say I think it’s more sexist than racist. I think that President Obama had, you know, a lot of the right things going for him…but at the end of day, he’s still a man. I still think patriarchy, you know, reigns supreme in this.
