VP Harris needed to do better than Biden and Trump to win but the unaffiliated who we needed didn't vote for her and all the other Democrats we needed who voted for Biden stayed home.
As hard as we worked, as extensive as our ground game was, as much money as we donated and spent...it still wasn't enough to bring out our fellow Democrats who voted for President Biden and have them vote for Kamala. Our own peeps left us high and dry, apparently.
The numbers in question:
2020 JB 81,283,501
2024 KH 71,159,488
Difference: 10,124,013
Updated 11/12 @ 1440
2024 KH 71,815,611
CHANGE: 9,467,890
Still not enough voters turning up.
What happened to ALL OF those VOTERS?
PLEASE explain.
