What do we call this photo? Harris is the second Democratic presidential candidate to lose to Trump, following Hillary Clinton’s defeat in 2016.

Donald Trump won the US presidential election and secured a historic return to the White House by defeating Vice President Kamala Harris.

It will not be as many pipo expect the vote count for 2020.

Trump maintains an early lead with most Americans in key battleground states voting.

Harris won the Democratic nomination when incumbent President Biden dropped out of the July race, becoming the second candidate to lose to Trump after Hillary Clinton’s loss in 2016.

Hello, we look at five reasons why Harris loses to Trump.

Economy

Despite low unemployment and the stock market, most Americans say they feel rising prices and the economy are a major concern for voters.

Inflation has risen to levels not seen since the 1970s, the aftermath of the pandemic has given Trump the mouth to say: “Are you better off now than you were four years ago?”

By 2024, voters around the world will not abandon the party in power due to the high costs of living post-Covid. American voters are also hungry for change.

Only one in four Americans is satisfied with the direction of accounting, and two-thirds have a poor view of the economy.

“Inflation caused in part by Biden’s huge spending programs remains a serious problem, and voters talked about how Biden’s agenda generates serious negative numbers that make it difficult for Harris to go all the way,” said the Foreign Policy columnist Michael Hirsh.

Only half of voters say they favor Trump and Harris when it comes to how to handle the economy and 31% of voters say that is the main issue, according to CNN exit polls.

Biden’s unpopularity

What do we call this photo? Joe Biden’s approval ratings remain around 40% for much of his presidency

Harris positions herself as the candidate of change, but as Joe Biden’s vice president, she does not fight to separate herself from her oga wey and her approval ratings are around 40% for her presidency.

Despite this, she does not remain loyal to me, even when Americans show that they do not like how they handle inflation and the border crisis between the United States and Mexico.

An example of this, according to political analysts, occurred when Harris appeared on ABC’s ‘The View’ last month.

Many see this as an opportunity for her to introduce herself to Americans who are unfamiliar with her background.

Instead, the Democratic candidate struggles to explain how she differs from President Biden, but says, “It’s not something that occurs to her.”

David Axelrod, a former adviser to Barack Obama, called the exchange “disastrous” for Harris.

We also have a “crisis picture” for the Democratic Party, sources told the BBC.

A Washington DC Democratic political operative, Ione Wells, told the BBC that the party “needs to get away with sabi pipo for DC to begin with.”

Odes praising campaign efforts consider the party to have an “image problem,” especially since issues such as the cost of living weigh heavily on voters’ minds.

“This Democratic loss of hope reminds me of a conversation I had with a Republican in favor of the Trump rally,” well, he said.

“I contend that the candidate does not completely ‘reimagine’ the Republican Party, moving away from the kontri-club image to appeal to working-class families, while the Democrats do not become the ‘party of Hollywood.'”

Social problems

Beyond economics, elections are often determined by emotionally charged issues.

Democrats are counting on abortion to get voters, while Trump is betting on immigration.

The record border encounter during the Biden administration and the impact of immigration on states far from the border make voters trust Trump more on this issue, according to a Pew Research Center survey.

Meanwhile, Harris is campaigning seriously to restore abortion access and secure a solid 54% to 44% lead among female voters, according to Edison Research exit polls.

However, this narrow margin beats Biden by 57% to 42% women for 2020. As for Trump, 54% of his supporters are men, while 44% are women.

Ultimately, abortion will not have the same powerful impact as it would in 2022, when Democrats do better than expected in the midterm elections.

British-American historian Niall Ferguson, a senior fellow at Stanford University’s Hoover Institution, says American voters are “not united in rejecting the policies of the last four years.”

I argue that Americans are turning against economic policies that fail and cause rising inflation, a foreign policy that leads to wars in the Middle East, and a social agenda they label “woke.”

“For the various progressive demonstrations, this agenda leaves behind not only white Americans, not only working-class Americans, but also Latin Americans, Hispanics, and it leaves behind pipo in everything di kontri,” he told the BBC Radio 4 Today programme.

“The Democratic Party is not getting a clear message: Americans don’t want these policies. Democrats want peace through strength and prosperity without inflation. They certainly don’t want ‘workers’ for social policies.”

Poor performance among black and Latino voters

What do we call this photo? Trump makes the biggest gains among Latino voters, especially men

Trump’s return to the White House will be more certain when he wins Pennsylvania and obtains 19 electoral votes, a state that Democrats have only lost once since 1988, when Trump defeated Hillary Clinton in 2016.

Harris’ campaign is investing resources in key states in the Sun Belt, such as Arizona, Nevada, Georgia and North Carolina, hoping to win over moderate Republicans and independents who are frustrated by the divisions of the Trump era.

However, that investment does not pay off.

Democrats’ usual support among black, Latino and younger voters is divisive, and while Harris maintains some support in college-educated areas, she fails to offset Trump’s gains in Democratic strongholds.

Edison Research exit polls suggest Harris will win with 86% of black voters to 12%, and 53% of Latino voters to 45%.

By 2020, however, Biden’s margins will be stronger to secure 87% of black voters and 65% of Latinos.

In a major shift, Trump made the biggest gains among Latino men, winning 54% to 44% over Harris, compared to Biden’s 59% to 36% win among the same group for 2020.

Harris, compared to Biden’s 2020 victory, is also underperforming in predominantly Republican rural counties, regressing to Clinton’s 2016 popularity levels.

Excessive attention to Trump

What do we call this photo? During the final weeks of the campaign, Harris escalated her attacks on Trump, calling him “fascist,” “unhinged” and “unstable.”

Like Hillary Clinton in 2016, Harris is largely focused on Trump being unfit for office.

From the beginning, Harris positioned the race as a referendum on Trump. During the final weeks of the campaign, he concluded his speech by calling Trump “fascist,” “unhinged” and “unstable,” while citing former White House chief of staff John Kelly’s claims about Trump’s alleged love for Hitler.

She frames the election as a fight for democracy, echoing Biden’s approach to the July race.

“Kamala Harris lost the election when she focused almost exclusively on attacking Donald Trump,” pollster Frank Luntz posted on X, formerly Twitter.

“Voters already know Trump; they want to know more about Harris’ plans for her first days and year in office.”
