Vice President Kamala Harris had never won a competitive election in her life. And that record is now final and set.

The Democrat decision to rush out Biden and bring her in was a bad decision. Biden may have even performed better in Pennsylvania than she did. He was better at campaigning with working-class white voters and black voters (albeit performing poorly with Latino voters who proved to be a vital factor.)

During her 2019 primary campaign, Kamala repeatedly rebooted the campaign, overseeing chaotic infighting and a lack of coherent messaging. History repeated itself once again in 2024. Her last-minute presidential campaign was chaotic and its messaging was repeatedly rebooted to no effect.

After kicking off a campaign with ‘joy’, she tried to refocus on actual issues, and then abandoned them to run on abortion and calling her opponent ‘Hitler’. None of these strategies paid off. Faced with a major gender gap, Kamala brought out Michelle Obama and depicted men as predators abusing women.

Election Day saw that message backfire badly with a massive turnout of young men voting for Trump.

Kamala made the fatal decision to bet her campaign on abortion. It was abortion, Dems believed, that had saved them from the red wave in 2022. Abortion, they believed, could save Kamala now.

It did not. It doomed her.

The American voters in poll after poll wanted action on the economy. They didn’t care about abortion. And they weren’t going to vote on it. The great turnout of pro-abortion women voters hyped by the media and the consultant class never arrived. Instead, the economy voters swamped the abortion vote.

And aborted Kamala’s political career.
