Democrats seek answers after election loss to Donald Trump
Democrats are reeling after losing the election to Donald Trump, with many pointing to Vice President Kamala Harris's campaign strategy as a key issue. Harris became the nominee after President Biden withdrew, leaving her only 107 days to campaign. Supporters of Harris, including senior adviser David Plouffe, acknowledged the challenges she faced. The party's traditional voter base, including blue-collar workers and young voters, shifted towards Trump, raising concerns about the Democrats' connection with these groups. Senator Bernie Sanders criticized the party for neglecting the working class, while other Democrats noted a disconnect between leadership and supporters. The election results showed significant declines in Democratic support, even in traditionally blue states like New Jersey.
