I looked at both campaigns and I saw echoes of Obama 2008 in Harris while Trump degenerated into Fat Elvis, mumbling through his greatest hits from years ago.
But it sure looks like Democratic turnout was way, way down. Yes, Trump turned out his 2020 voters and more, but a lot of people just didn't show up for Harris who showed up in 2020...during a pandemic.
Yes, I think Harris ran a strong campaign in a terrible climate for incumbent parties, but the arguments about sexism, in particular, have their strongest evidence here. Not in the people who voted for Trump, but for the people who stayed home, because "there's something about her I just don't like."
Baffling and infuriating.
