In an unexpected, at least to some, turn of events, Kamala lost all seven of America's most important swing states, which ultimately determined the winner in 2024. Since Kamala refused to give a concession speech the night of, Democrats on her team were forced to fill the void with finger pointing and rage.
Some Democrats believe that Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro should have been chosen as Kamala's running mate as opposed to Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz who, along with his wife, was a train wreck for Kamala's campaign.
"People are wondering tonight what would have happened had Shapiro been on the ticket," commented Lindy Li, a Pennsylvania-based senior Democratic official, in a statement to Fox News. "And not only in terms of Pennsylvania."
Shapiro, Li continued, "would have signaled to the American people that [Kamala] is not the San Francisco liberal that Trump said she was, but she went with someone actually to her left (politically)."
"In the eyes of the American people," Li concluded, "Walz was the governor who oversaw the (George Floyd) protests."

Kamala failed to understand, clarify her own policy positions
Another major problem that Democrat voters had with Kamala was her complete lack of understanding about the issues that matter most to Americans. For one, she completely failed to distance herself from the failed policies of Joe Biden, which is probably because she does not even fully grasp what they are.
During an appearance on The View, Kamala was asked point-blank what she would have done differently than Biden over the past for years, to which she responded:
"There is not a thing that comes to mind."
MSNBC's Joy Reid blamed white women from North Carolina for supposedly costing Kamala the race.
"In the end, they didn't make their numbers," Reid commented. "We have to be blunt about why; black voters came through for Harris; white women voters did not."
In other words, shame on white women for not voting for Kamala simply because Kamala is a woman. Identity politics failed once again to elect the person that Democrats wanted in office.
"I don't think people understand that working people sometimes have to choose," added CNN contributor and former Barack Obama adviser Van Jones, who blamed Kamala's loss on her campaign for focusing too much on celebrity-driven rallies.
"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?" Van continued, asking hypothetical questions that voters might have been asking themselves. "I don't like these big, star-studded events."
Former Kamala advisor turned MSNBC commentator Symone Sanders, summed it up like this concerning the only thing Democrats have left to do:
"We have to listen to what the voters are saying."
All in all, Democrats are once again pouting over the election results as they expected things to go differently. There are all sorts of scapegoats emerging, but the fact remains that Democrats failed to connect with a majority of the country, which instead wants a return of the Trump years, the expectation being that this time around he plans to fully clean house.
