Kamala Harris's Election Night Shock

The article centers on Kamala Harris's surprising defeat in the 2024 election, highlighting her and her running mate's disbelief at the outcome. Based on accounts from Amie Parnes's book "FIGHT," Harris and Walz were reportedly shocked and in denial, requiring repeated explanations of their loss. Harris even suggested a recount.

Campaign Miscalculations

The author argues Harris's campaign was severely mismanaged. They misjudged the effectiveness of their campaign strategies, mistakenly believing large crowds equated to electoral success while overlooking negative polling data. Internal polling from both the Biden and Harris campaigns indicated a significant Trump victory.

Key points include:

  • Harris's campaign relied on paid celebrities to draw crowds.
  • Her campaign team felt they lacked 'substance'.
  • Even Barack Obama reportedly preferred an open primary to avoid Harris.
  • Battleground state Democrats distanced themselves from her.

The Author's Perspective
