Harris only received five percent of Republican votes — less than the six percent Joe Biden won in 2020 when he beat Trump, as well as the seven percent won by Hillary Clinton in 2016 when she lost to him. While Harris won independents and moderates, she did so by smaller margins than Biden did in 2020.

Meanwhile, Harris lost households earning under $100,000, while Democratic turnout collapsed. Votes are still being counted, but Harris is on pace to underperform Biden’s 2020 totals by millions of votes.

    I’m used to it by now. You should have seen me on Twitter during the 2016/2020 campaigns. It was rough!

      It’s nice people like us can be mocked and not shift right.

      Unlike those people who claim “I had to vote trump because the left left me, I didn’t leave them.”

      Or Harris.
