So about three hours ago, Vice President Kamala Harris gave her concession speech at Howard University in Washington, D.C.—after losing to Donald Trump in the U.S. presidential election yesterday. As of right now, the electoral count stands at 295-226 (see below), in favor of the convicted felon and adjudicated rapist. 270 points were needed to clinch the victory.
So where do we go from here? Who is to blame for this stunning defeat?
- President Joe Biden for bombing his CNN debate with Trump last June?
- Biden for refusing to end his re-election bid before this year's primaries...in which case Harris or any other Democratic candidate would've had more time presenting their case for running as president to the American people?
- Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for urging Biden to drop out of the race following the June debate?
Or...
- The majority of Americans who voted against their own interests because they couldn't accept having a woman, a non-white woman at that, in the Oval Office?
Lots of soul-searching to do for the Democrats in regards to yesterday's heartbreaking loss. But there will be even more soul-searching to do, by the American public itself, after Trump is inaugurated next January.
Assuming that the fear over PROJECT 2025 is justified (most signs indicate that it is), all of the voters who think they won today will eventually realize that they didn't. It's a matter of when.
