“There has been a lot of soul searching. Democrats have been looking at when Biden got out of the race and whether there should have been a primary, but also about the issues that the party was focused on in the race. The Democratic Party and Kamala Harris were very much expecting the issue of reproductive rights and abortion rights to motivate women to the polls. The majority of women did support support Harris. But that was not enough to overtake Trump's lead and that was not what they predicted. There has been a lot of talk about the economy and how that was a big concern for so many people and that perhaps the Democrats should focus more on their messaging on that topic. But how the Harris campaign got their message out has also been a big point of discussion. The Republicans put Donald Trump on podcasts that were very popular with young men and used influencers on social media to get the word out. Democrats focused very much on traditional mainstream media.”

“The Harris campaign did not necessarily do a good job of explaining how her policies would help the middle class, or at least that message wasn't really resonating with a lot of voters.”

“Harris focused too much on abortion rather than more salient issues, such as economic policies, that would appeal to working class voters, including women. This caused Harris to lose critical battleground states that had consistently voted for Democrats before 2016. Harris lost Wisconsin because she lost the working class and did not win women, suburbs and young voters.”

“She [Kamala Harris] had decades of government experience under her belt: from her time as a public prosecutor to her service in the Senate and White House. That raises questions about why so many voters opted for her opponent. This loss just underscores the amount of ingrained racism and white hetero-patriarchy, the deep-seatedness of white supremacy in this nation. You can't deny that she is someone who could have served as president on day one. Trump has repeatedly described Harris as low IQ and mentally disabled, even calling her one of the dumber people in the history of our country. That kind of rhetoric gave his supporters a licence to dismiss and denigrate Harris. The way that Trump has painted her and people's responses to her have just brought out the worst in a lot of folks.”

“This loss indicates we still have so much more work to do here in the US in terms of sex and race relations. Trump has afforded people the ability to be their worst selves, and that definitely includes being sexist and racist. The question of gender and race will continue to be a mobilising force. It's going to be a big rallying cry.”

“The coalition that elected them wanted them [Biden-Harris] to unite the country, and they failed to do so. Their failure has resulted in further disillusionment with our country's politics and empowered the Trump base to give him another narrow victory after setbacks in three consecutive general elections.”

“There are some hopes among some people that this election might bring about some rapprochement because of the fact that a reformist president, a more balanced president, is in the office in Tehran. There is this hope among some that this election could pave the way for better ties. But there are some others who think that regardless of who wins the election the grand strategy in Washington pertaining to Tehran is not going to experience a [great] change. There's a clear air of mistrust, a significant amount of scepticism regarding how this election could end up and change the ties in the relations between Iran and the United States. All in all, I think opinions are very divided: some people prefer Trump because of his clear, direct approach; others prefer Kamala Harris because her approach is predicted to be more diplomatic, less confrontational.”

“Going into election day, both Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are nearly neck and neck in all seven swing states; North Carolina is one of them, with 16 electoral votes, up one from four years ago. Like many Southern states, it voted for Democrats for a century before swinging to the Republicans in the 1960s, but population shifts, including many people moving in from other states, have made it a swing state in recent elections. Barack Obama narrowly carried North Carolina in 2008 but lost it in 2012; since then, it has remained close, with Republicans generally having a small advantage. North Carolina was the only one of this year's swing states won by Donald Trump in 2020, but just by around 1.3%, so this time, North Carolina is very much at play as a crucial swing state. Kamala Harris doesn't need to win North Carolina, but any scenario in which she does makes her path to 270 electoral votes and the White House a lot easier. Trump can also get to 270 without North Carolina, but doing so will be very, very hard. Like so many other swing states, North Carolina is a story of a few large and heavily Democratic cities balanced against a vast rural and Republican hinterland. Democratic voters are mainly concentrated in the state capital, Raleigh, and the neighboring cities of Greensboro and High Point, as well as in Charlotte, the state's largest city. There's also a small but significant concentration in the west of the state around Asheville, while pretty much everywhere else is Republican red. Every election has a so-called October surprise; this time, it's Hurricane Helene, a devastating storm that caused more than 200 deaths and catastrophic damage across the southeastern United States, including Georgia and North Carolina. These are the communities [in the west of the state] battered by Hurricane Helene. It's unclear how Hurricane Helene will swing these elections, but it may affect the pace of the counting process. How the federal government, that is, Biden and Harris at the White House, and the state government respond to this disaster - and how they're perceived to respond-could be a key factor for the state's voters as they head to the polls.”

“Trump needs to win here in North Carolina. He won in 2016 and in 2020. But the fact that four of his last 10 events have been here in the state tells us his campaign is not certain it is a done deal. The campaign is concerned about the way things are going, particularly when you add to the mix a poll that came out Saturday night from the conservative state of Iowa that shows Kamala Harris ahead there by three points. That's quite a big deal. And she's particularly ahead with older women voters. If that were to repeat across the country, that's big trouble for the Trump campaign, so they need to ensure they get their base out. That is why Trump is here. Over the next couple of days, he's going to go to Michigan, Pennsylvania and later today, his third campaign stop is going to be in Georgia. All three of those states the Trump campaign considers to be in play. But there is concern that there might just be weakness in the core vote, so he needs to shore that up.”

“The only way we're going to win is to swamp the vote and make this thing too big to rig. She [Kamala Harris] doesn't plan to do anything differently. For the people of North Carolina, the choice is very clear: It's a choice between more of the same, more high grocery prices, more unaffordable housing, more open borders, more fentanyl in our communities or … do we take this country in a different direction? Do we take back the peace and prosperity? Do we get back to the leadership of Donald J Trump?”

“If the next [US] leader continues adding fuel to the fire in the Russia-Ukraine conflict with the same gusto, that will be a very bad choice because it will be a road to hell. This would really pave the way for a third world war. I urge both US presidential candidates, Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, to recognize this fact. Whoever decides to continue the war will be making a very grave mistake.”

“Trump certainly says, thinks that he can talk to [Chinese President] Xi Jinping, in the same way he thinks he has special rapport with strong men and dictators the world over. And I suspect that Xi knows how to stroke that ego in a way that could be helpful. At the same time, China also knows that Trump is very unpredictable, and this would see a return of a widening trade war that would hurt the Chinese economy. When it comes to Harris, the danger for China, is the predictability; the Biden administration's biggest success has globally has been deepening US alliances and partnerships and further isolating China. So if we're talking about security issues like the South China Sea, like Taiwan, then I certainly think that China would prefer Trump to Harris. On the economy, maybe they would prefer Harris to Trump. I don't think either of these candidates is gonna be a very good thing for China. China would prefer Harris on the economy, and Trump on security.”

“Pennsylvania is a bellwether state, and it's very unlikely that either candidate will win enough electoral votes to become president without [it]. It's possible that a few Puerto Ricans who were planning on voting for Trump would now be so angry that they would vote for Harris or not vote at all. A few thousand votes could be sufficient to swing the election result. That's just how tight this is.”

“With so much uncertainty, the best Taiwan can do for now is to brace for change. The biggest worry for [Taiwan] now is that maybe we cannot count on our first term experience with Trump because he's really unpredictable. In the case of a Harris win, and even if she follows most of Biden's policies, she will still have her own opinions. In her case, Taiwan has to be ready for the changes.”

“If Trump was to win, there is no doubt that it would be a fairly quick negotiation between Ukraine and Russia, and it would come up with a solution. Even if Trump doesn't win, I think it's quite possible that President Kamala [Harris] would be open to a negotiation. But again, I don't think she would want to put America directly in line, whereas Trump said he clearly would.”

“We don't need four more years of arrogance and bumbling and bluster and division. America is ready to turn the page. We are ready for a better story, one that helped us work together instead of turning against each other. Pennsylvania, we're ready for President Kamala Harris. I am the hopey changey guy so I understand people feeling frustrated, feeling we can do better. What I cannot understand is why anybody would think that Donald Trump will shake things up in a way that is good for you, Pennsylvania. I don't understand that.”

“It's not a question of age, because Trump remains energetic. It's a matter of focus and message discipline, because he [Donald Trump] has to convince the few remaining undecided voters that Harris is not only too liberal, but that he also has a real grasp on tackling problems that families are having today.”

“Harris, I'm sure, is being advised in relation to things like tone and showing emotion and reaction to Trump's types of goading. Because women are more often subjected to claims that they're overly emotional. There are stereotypical tropes of Black women being angry that she is surely aware of, and you can see evidence in the way that she, very calmly, often in these types of settings, responds.”

“She [Kamala Harris] will be looking to come off as tough and grill Trump and show that she can rebut him. But of course, the danger for her is that, as a woman of colour, she's in a tough position given race and gender stereotypes about appropriate behaviour. So far, she seems to be very effectively managing that tightrope, and this is her chance to highlight these skills on an even larger stage.”
