Democrats point to Biden's role in Harris' election defeat to Trump
Kamala Harris lost the US election to Donald Trump, marking a second defeat for Democrats against him. Biden's late withdrawal from the race and Harris's alignment with his policies are seen as key factors in the loss. Harris entered the race as a last-minute challenger but faced criticism for her campaign strategy. Many Democrats blame Biden's leadership and his decision to stay in the race too long, which they believe hurt Harris's chances. The defeat has sparked calls for change within the Democratic Party. Voter turnout among key demographics, including younger and diverse voters, fell short, while Trump gained support in traditionally Democratic areas. Harris delivered a concession speech, thanking Biden and reaffirming her commitment to the issues raised during her campaign.
