Along with less voters turnout out, in 2020 37% of those who voted were democrats, 35% republicans. In 2024 31% were democrats, republicans maintain their 35% of those who actually voted.
I place blame for Kamala Harris not defending the Palestinians against their massacre by the Israeli government. Yes, October 6th was horrible, but the extent of the risraeli government's retribution is un-called for. Harris could had distanced herself from the Biden Administration in this regard. But, perhaps at the end of the day, she agreed with Biden on this.

Harris lost a lot of votes by this decision from both Palestinian and non-Palestinian voters. We KNOW voters stayed home because of this issue.

Otherwise, Harris ran a great campaign.
