Harris, who aimed to become the first woman to serve as president, faced a challenging campaign shaped by cultural and economic divides. Despite receiving significant support from women and progressives, her campaign struggled to counter Trump’s appeal among working-class voters and minorities.
Throughout her campaign, Harris advocated for reproductive rights, climate change, and income equality. Her advocacy for abortion rights earned support from conservative and younger male voters, resulting in a shift in key regions.
Harris gave a nice concession address at her alma mater, Howard University, emphasizing togetherness and perseverance. She advised Americans not to despair, expressing confidence in the country’s ability to improve.
Republicans reclaimed the Senate in the election, which is expected to have a big impact on judicial selections and legislative dynamics under President Trump.
