In 2020, nearly four out of five voters voted for Joe Biden and 22% cast ballots for Trump. But in 2024, just 65% voted for Harris and 33% voted for Trump, according to city voting records reported by the Daily Kos show. A post-election survey by the Democratic firm Blueprint shows that the top three reasons the vice president lost to Trump were rising inflation, too many migrants coming into the country and the Democratic nominee’s hyperfixation on “cultural issues like transgender issues rather than helping the middle class.”
Other misses by the Harris campaign included her pandering too much to suburban women while not enough to blacks, Hispanics and Asians — as well as Generation Z voters, polling data confirms.
