Former president Donald Trump came into election day with a fervent base of supporters and the experience of having already run for president twice. He also came with felony convictions and large numbers of voters who viewed him unfavourably.
Should he win, Trump will have succeeded in saddling Harris with Biden’s record. And he will have appealed to voters’ unease with his dark talk about the state of the nation, and with his gauzy recollections of the supposedly better days when he was president. But as he has managed to do throughout his time in politics, he repeatedly survived the kind of setbacks – his debate thrashing by Harris, for instance, and his Madison Square Garden rally in which a comedian denigrated Puerto Rico, black voters, Jews and Palestinians – that would have sunk almost any other candidate.
It may be hard to prove that Harris lost specifically because of sexism, but gender is playing a major role in how Americans vote this year./Siena College poll, taken at the end of October, found Trump leading Harris among men, 55 per cent to 41 per cent. Trump’s swaggering, uninhibited style, along with his promises of a booming economy, had particular resonance with black and Latino men. That helped him chip away at a vital part of the Democratic base.
