Harris Tried to Win Over Republicans. Democratic Support Collapsed Instead.
Harris Tried to Win Over Republicans. Democratic Support Collapsed Instead.
Kamala Harris did not pull Republicans from Trump, and the percentage of voters identifying as Democrat declined, according to exit polls.
Harris only received five percent of Republican votes — less than the six percent Joe Biden won in 2020 when he beat Trump, as well as the seven percent won by Hillary Clinton in 2016 when she lost to him. While Harris won independents and moderates, she did so by smaller margins than Biden did in 2020.
Meanwhile, Harris lost households earning under $100,000, while Democratic turnout collapsed. Votes are still being counted, but Harris is on pace to underperform Biden’s 2020 totals by millions of votes.

Both her and Clinton should have been braver with VP choice.
They both chose VP milquetoast when the time called for people wanting change.
Walz was a great choice. The best moments in the campaign came from him.
They lost because they were pandering to republicans, not because of Walz
Waltz was great until the DNC told him to stop calling Vance weird even though it worked and to stop talking major shifts in his elections would work.
And then he was mute except for playing games on twitch.
Walz was great. They put him on a leash, though. Remember when he was going around calling the Republicans "weird" and they were freaking out about it?
(Edit: They're STILL not over this btw, Benny-boy "dry wife" Shapiro made a tweet after the election that went something like "We proved we're the normal ones after all".)
I don't even remember who Clinton chose for her vp
Tim 'theres room in the Democratic party for pro lifers' Kaine.
Man, maybe the Dems lost because the VPs are named Tim ... They should really look into people with other names maybe.
Tim Kaine. A pro-Wall Street centrist.
