Barack Obama<\/strong> being Black stop him from winning the 2008 and 2012 elections. But the combo of Harris being Black and a woman was apparently too much to overcome.<\/p>\nThe DNC autopsy pointed to several reasons it believes Harris lost to Trump, including the inability to overcome “misinformation” from Republicans and the press.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn the face of misinformation and disinformation, our candidates have proven incapable of projecting strength, unity, and leadership, and voters have drifted away. Indeed, many of our critical Democratic wins can be attributed to negative partisanship \u2014 where Republicans have nominated deeply flawed candidates,\u201d the report said.<\/p>\n
Another problem? Biden putting Harris in charge of the border, which the report said set her up for failure.<\/p>\n
\u201cDemocrats won the election and President Biden assigned the Vice President a brief including immigration, which was poorly framed by Republicans as the \u2018border czar.\u2019 It was not the official title, but it was the one that the media propagated and the White House failed to contradict or correct,” the report said.<\/p>\n
There may be another opportunity to see if the American public is willing to make Harris president sooner than later. A new Rasmussen poll showed Harris has a big lead on other liberal contenders like California Gov. Gavin Newsom<\/strong> (D) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez<\/strong> (D-NY) to secure the Democratic nomination in the 2028 election.<\/p>\n\n
