Harris’ defeat and Trump’s stunning comeback in 2024; Factors that influenced voters | N18G

Kamala Harris gave her concession speech on November 6, 2024, following her loss to Republican Donald Trump in the presidential race. While acknowledging the country’s sense of uncertainty, she called for optimism and faith. Harris became the Democratic nominee after Joe Biden resigned, but despite her enthusiasm and campaign fundraising, she has struggled to allay voters’ concerns about the economy and immigration. Trump’s improving performance in key battleground states, as well as a sense of nostalgia for the pre-COVID economy, contributed to his defeat. Harris also faced time constraints: he had only 100 days to organize a national campaign. Political pundit Andra Gillespie noted Harris’ relative lack of recognition compared to Trump and the difficulty of distancing herself from the unpopular Biden administration. Future research could examine whether gender stereotypes and sexism played a role in the outcome of the election, particularly in how voters perceived Harris.
