Kamala Harris’s recent loss to Donald Trump has raised questions about her campaign’s effectiveness. Despite focusing on abortion rights, she failed to resonate with voters grappling with inflation and economic uncertainty. The traditional Democratic voter base, particularly blue-collar workers, shifted towards Trump, seeking change after industrial decline. Harris’s vague economic strategies and relatively low visibility as Vice President hampered her appeal. Moreover, her identity as a woman of color played a role in the sociopolitical dynamics, with some voters expressing resistance to her candidacy. These factors culminated in an unexpected turnout that favored Trump.
