In 2024, Kamala Harris did worse among Black voters than Joe Biden did in 2020. She did worse among female voters. She did much worse among Latino voters. She did much worse among young voters.
She did manage to outperform Biden among two groups: affluent people and white voters, especially white men. If there is one sentence that captures the surprising results of this election, it is this one from the sociologist Musa al-Gharbi: 'Democrats lost because everyone except for whites moved in the direction of Donald Trump this cycle.'
Going into this campaign, I did not have that one on my bingo card.
