“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.”
