Harris Campaign Strategy Criticized, Trump Wins Key States

Kamala Harris's presidential campaign failed due to strategic missteps, primarily focusing too much on attacking Donald Trump rather than presenting her own policies and plans. Republican pollster Frank Luntz criticized Harris's advisors, describing their strategy as 'political malpractice' because voters already had a fixed perception of Trump and wanted to learn about Harris's plans. The election showed a clear gender divide, with men feeling ignored by Harris and relating more to Trump, who they saw as their voice. Harris's failure to outline her agenda clearly and her focus on Trump led undecided voters to break for Trump during the final campaign stretch. Despite Trump's controversial language, voters were familiar with his leadership style, while Harris's strategy did not sufficiently engage them with her vision. Trump ultimately won significant battleground states, capturing support from key demographics like Latino men, which contributed to his victory.
