A lot of folks are waking up today and wondering how the hell we got here—again.
There will be many attempts to explain it in the coming days, but I figured I’d offer my take.
Like many of you, I’m horrified. I supported Harris over Trump and am terrified of what’s to come—esp with baby on the way

As a Black and Indian woman, Harris had a more difficult time—especially with no college white voters.
Harris had a big task ahead of her: Turning the page not just on Trump, but Joe Biden, whose unpopularity was a real liability. She didn’t do that.
But Biden’s biggest challenge—and it became Harris’s problem—was selling an unpopular economy to the people.
Also Trump voters have tended to be more affluent.
Well, some of it may have to do with the fact that Biden oversaw the end of pandemic relief, leaving millions without benefits they’d had under Trump…and then came inflation.
The end of COVID public health emergency saw 20 million lose Medicaid coverage as of April.
The end of the student loan repayment pause impacted 43 million.
