Top Democrats in Vice President Harris' campaign say their efforts to sway voters simply weren't enough in the face of a general dissatisfaction with the direction of the country among the electorate.
Officials who worked on the campaign offered a post-mortem to the Washington Post on Thursday, saying that former President Trump also took advantage of new media opportunities that Harris left mostly untouched.
"There are certain things we’re looking at to understand if we made the right call," campaign chair Jen O’Malley Dillon told the Post. "But fundamentally, there wasn’t just one audience of voters that would have impacted this, or one program. The headwinds were just too great for us to overcome, especially in 107 days. But we came very close to what we anticipated, both in terms of turnout and in terms of support."
