Kamala Harris may have won New York City. But the ground she lost with voters compared to Joe Biden in 2020 defies both logic and expectations.
“I’m not sure I can exactly explain it,” said Mike Dawidziak, a political strategist. “I mean, she underperformed so badly in key Democratic groups that supported both Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden that it’s very hard to explain.”
In 2020, 5,244,886 voters cast their ballot for Biden. So far, with 97% votes counted, Harris has earned 4,337,146 votes — this, sources say, could indicate a turnout problem.
