Harris \u201cdid a really good job\u201d, Maslin told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2024\/11\/06\/democrats-despair-trump-swing-states-00187722\" data-link-name=\"in body

condition of the country, the Biden-Harris administration and frankly the Democratic party, was in the end unbeatable,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">CNN\u2019s national political correspondent Alex Thompson <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/AxiosComms\/status\/1854096532498264553\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">noted that a former adviser<\/a> to Joe Biden criticized the Harris campaign, asking: \u201cHow do you spend $1bn and not win?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">Others, Thompson said, have suggested that Biden should have exited the race sooner.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">He said one longtime Democratic operative told him the party \u201csleepwalked into disaster\u201d on Tuesday night, adding that \u201cswapping the pitcher in at the sixth inning wasn\u2019t enough, and that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/us-news\/kamala-harris\" data-link-name=\"in body link\" data-component=\"auto-linked-tag\">Kamala Harris<\/a> did as good of a job as she could have done\u201d.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">Mark Longabaugh, a veteran Democratic strategist who previously advised Senator Bernie Sanders, also said Harris was handed the reins \u201ctoo late\u201d, adding that it was a \u201ctough environment\u201d according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2024\/11\/06\/democrats-despair-trump-swing-states-00187722\"

summer, about potentially having an open primary and having that fight play out within the Democratic party,\u201d Welker said. \u201cSo I think it\u2019s one of the big questions moving forward.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">Others, such as Lindy Li, a senior Democratic official in Pennsylvania, <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/JacquiHeinrich\/status\/1854052736641212687\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">are questioning<\/a> whether the outcome would have been different if Harris had chosen a different vice-presidential candidate, such as the governor of Pennsylvania, Josh Shapiro.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">Li argued to <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/JacquiHeinrich\/status\/1854052736641212687\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">Fox News<\/a> that the moderate Shapiro would have conveyed to American voters that Harris is not the \u201cSan Francisco liberal\u201d Trump portrayed her to be. \u201cBut she went with someone actually to her left,\u201d Li said, referring to the Minnesota governor, Tim Walz, whom Harris chose as her vice-presidential pick.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">Li also criticized the Harris campaign for not distinguishing Harris enough from Biden, a point that has been echoed by other operatives and commentators in the last few weeks.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">Some pointed to Harris\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/commentisfree\/2024\/oct\/14\/kamala-harris-israel-gaza\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">appearance on the talkshow The View<\/a>, when she was asked if there was anything she would have done differently than Biden and responded: \u201cThere is not a thing that comes to mind.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">Those comments were quickly seized upon by the Trump campaign and Republicans, who used it as an opportunity to try to tie Harris to Biden\u2019s unpopularity and blame her for the administration\u2019s challenges related to immigration, inflation and more.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">On MSNBC on Tuesday night, the commentator Joy Reid <a href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/2024\/tv\/news\/joy-reid-white-women-voters-kamala-harris-msnbc-1236202437\/\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">expressed disappointment<\/a> at white women in North Carolina for not coming out to vote for Harris and contributing to the Democrat\u2019s loss in the swing state.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">\u201cIn the end, they didn\u2019t make their numbers, we have to be blunt about why,\u201d Reid said. \u201cBlack voters came through for Harris, white women voters did not. That is what appears happened.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">In the run-up to election day, Van Jones, a CNN contributor and former Barack Obama adviser, had <a href=\"https:\/\/cbsaustin.com\/news\/nation-world\/former-obama-advisor-nervous-over-celebrity-rallies-for-harris-helped-us-lose-cardi-b-van-jones-donald-trump-election-day-2024-cnn-barack-admin-rally-november-white-house\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">criticized the celebrity appearances<\/a> at the Harris campaign\u2019s rallies, arguing that they were not the best use of supporters\u2019 time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">\u201cI don\u2019t think people understand, working people sometimes have to choose: am I going to go to the big, cool concert and pay for babysitting for that, or am I going to figure out a way to get to the polls?\u201d Jones said. \u201cI don\u2019t like these big star-studded events.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">\u201cI don\u2019t want people going to concerts. I want people out there knocking on doors, I want people out there fighting for this thing,\u201d he added. \u201cI\u2019m just nervous, nervous, nervous.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">David Sirota, who was a senior adviser for Sanders\u2019s 2020 presidential campaign, <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/davidsirota\/status\/1854066442016039288\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">described<\/a> Tuesday night as a \u201cvery bad night\u201d.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">\u201cSome of us spent years warning Dems to take working-class politics more seriously &amp; to not tout neocons,\u201d he said. \u201cWe did so in hopes of avoiding this &amp; yet we were vilified as traitors by Dem elites &amp; liberal pundits.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">\u201cThere\u2019s a lesson here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">Another former Sanders staffer, Jeff Weaver, told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2024\/11\/06\/democrats-despair-trump-swing-states-00187722\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">Politico<\/a> that the Democratic party now needed to \u201cre-establish its relationship with the working-class people\u201d.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">As of Wednesday morning most Democratic lawmakers remained silent about the election outcome, perhaps waiting until Harris addresses the nation, which she is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/us-news\/live\/2024\/nov\/06\/us-presidential-election-2024-donald-trump-kamala-harris-latest-news-updates?page=with:block-672b78f18f08e1fe062503c2#block-672b78f18f08e1fe062503c2\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">expected<\/a> to do on Wednesday afternoon.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\"><strong>Read more of the Guardian\u2019s 2024 US election coverage<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/us-news\/2024\/nov\/06\/election-trump-harris-democrats-loss\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Democrats across the country were left in disbelief and searching for answers as they confronted the reality of another Donald Trump presidency.
