Look at North Carolina where they overwhelmingly elected a Jewish governor, and voted for Trump. It doesn't really go much deeper than the one and only thing that Kamala Harris and Mark Robinson have in common. I place a ton of blame on the media; starting with the constant drumbeat of "Biden is old", crapping on the economy when every piece of evidence shows that we are doing better after Covid than any other country. We have entire networks devoted to financial news and nobody could figure out that we did not have monetary inflation but rather supply shock? Why did these "experts" spend the last three years pretending that 2020 never happened?? Yes, gas was $1.87 in 2020 because NOBODY WAS DRIVING ANYWHERE, eggs prices went up due to two separate bird flu outbreaks. Covid blew a 20 TRILLION dollar hole in the US economy which was filled with only 9 trillion in stimulus so there were no money printers working overtime flooding us with cash. Inflation came down from 9% to nearly 2% without a recession and without widespread unemployment and Biden/Harris got zero credit for the soft-landing which is now very much in danger.

I also believe that there are many Dems out there who were angry about the way Biden was pushed aside and may have stayed home because of it; I think the process was shameful. The debate performance was visually bad but, if you remember, there was a focus group of Latino voters that only heard the translation and overwhelmingly said that he had won the debate.
