Pennsylvania Democrats have begun self-reflecting — and finger pointing — on the reasons for Kamala Harris' defeat and other losses in the state.in the state and Democrats lose down ballot, they tried to make sense of an election many thought they could eke out — or that would at least look closer.“Clearly, America wasn’t buying what we were selling,” Pennsylvania Democratic strategist Eric Stern said.
“The post-pandemic world has not been kind to parties in power,” U.S. Rep. Brendan Boyle said. “Inflation shock has hurt a lot of people and they’ve taken it out on the party in power, whether it was the fault of that party or not.” But the Harris campaign did have an expansive presence in Philadelphia with several campaign offices in the city and more ad dollars spent here than anywhere in Pennsylvania, which topped all swing states in spending. Harris visited Philadelphia 15 times.
“Even though the economy is bouncing back, the regular products that the normal, everyday person cared about are up, and they’re not going down,” said City Councilmember Jim Harrity, who works with both the state and city parties. “The message of her going after the price gougers and stuff like that, I don’t think it really resonated. People thought ‘Well, they were there, why didn’t they do it already?’”Democrats said.
