In the wake of the Democratic defeat in the 2020 election, analysts are scrutinizing the contributing factors. One area of concern is the lack of support Kamala Harris received from white women voters. Exit polls show that Harris performed significantly worse among this demographic compared to other Democratic candidates. While her gender and race were expected to mobilize white women in her favor, this did not materialize. Some commentators argue that white women’s continued prioritization of other issues, such as the economy and healthcare, over matters of gender and race equity ultimately led to Harris’s defeat. This highlights the ongoing challenges faced by women of color in American politics and the need to address the underlying dynamics that can hinder their electoral prospects.
