inquirer.net

Kamala Harris conceded the 2024 presidential election to Donald Trump on November 6, 2024. Experts cite economic issues, particularly inflation, and immigration as key factors in her loss. Despite some economic improvements, voter sentiment remained negative, impacting her campaign. Trump's immigration stance resonated with voters, especially his promise to deport millions of immigrants. While Harris won significant support among Black voters, Trump gained ground with Hispanic voters and improved his standing with women and youth compared to 2020. Harris struggled to distance herself from President Biden's unpopularity and faced challenges in her campaign's short timeframe. A notable moment occurred during an interview when she could not identify any differences from Biden's policies, which was criticized as damaging to her candidacy.
