Bill digs into some numbers and contends that President Biden was Kamala Harris' greatest liability.

TRANSCRIPT:

O'REILLY: 
News Nation had the best coverage because it was the simplest and their way ahead. They called the race for Trump first. I, I was on news nation a couple of times, but in the interim, I was watching. I'm telling you, the panel of nine people. Come on. And no, nobody remembers what they say 30s after they say it. You say you have three people and they had a really good analytics guy who had all the numbers up there easy. Even I could understand. Now in the first go around before the polls closed, here's what I said. Go.

"Trump will win North Carolina by 3% and they will win Georgia. They don't know what the tally will be, but they believe that the vice president is underperforming in Fulton County.".

Okay, so Trump won North Carolina by 3.4%. So my source was unbelievably accurate there. Georgia obviously went to Trump, Fulton County. It wasn't quite what it was for Biden four years ago, but it was close. That's Georgia. That's Atlanta. So that was a little wobbly there. I also said that urban turnout was not that great for Kamala Harris, and it turned out to be true. New York City was the tightest race since 1988. And Donald Trump got more votes than any other Republican in more than 40 years in New York City. Philadelphia was, you know, obviously, both went to Harris, but in a much more narrow clip. And the urban people there suffering, too, as far as economics are concerned. So the reason all this happened was because of Joe Biden. Joe Biden lost the election for Kamala Harris. Harris was a very poor campaigner, as you know. Wouldn't answer a question, said ridiculous stuff like Trump wants to ban abortion nationwide. You know all of that. Not a good candidate. But she didn't lose the election. Biden lost it. Because most Americans who voted are not ideologues. They may be raised through the party, but they're not paying attention. They don't live politics, but they do live in the grocery store and the restaurants at the gas station. And they've got to pay insurance. And they're getting killed. And they go, well, inflation is coming down. It doesn't matter. Prices aren't. The rate of inflation growth is coming down, but the prices are there and they're not coming down. That's what the decider was.
