Kamala Harris was the VPOTUS for Joe Biden from 2020-2024. Joe Biden officially dropped out of the presidental race on July 21, 2024 shortly after the first presidental debate against our now president Donald Trump. Kamala was then nominated by big democratic names and soon the whole party supported her. Kamala was given just under four months to hold rallies while Donald Trump had been holding rallies for a while.
Kamala Harris then nominated her VPOTUS Tim Walz to be her running mate against J.D. Vance and Donald Trump. Kamala Harris rallied in many states ultimatley winning the usual blue states. Kamala could have rallied a lot more if Joe Biden dropped out earlier leading to that state leaning in her favor. Trump had an amazing night on November 5th winning states he lost four years earlier and also winning most of the swing states. Trump lost Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennyslavania against Joe Biden but ultimatley won them against Kamala. Before Trump had 270 electoral colleges he was already on a plane to celebrate with his supporters.
Was the problem inflation with everything is stores being priced extremely high. Groceries went up 22% under Joe Biden compared to Donald Trump. Trump may have lost the 2020 election due to covid and how he was treating that situtation. So could have inflation cost Kamala Harris and the domocrats. Gas prices were through the roof the past four years going from $30-$40 in a small vehicle to nearly $50. Every state has different gas prices California has their prices from $7-$10 per gallon.
What do you think?
Would Kamala have had a better chance?
Was Inflation a cause?

I don't think Kamala Harris would have won the presidency if she had more time because she was still tied to Joe Biden's terrible presidency. Biden's approval ratings were around 40 percent for most of his term, and voters would have associated her name with him. When she went on The View, she couldn't name a single thing she would do differently, which became a Trump campaign ad and hurt her with voters who wanted change.
I also think inflation was a massive factor in Kamala losing the election. If inflation hadn't gotten so bad when the democrats took over the office from Trump then more people would have been inclined to vote for kamala. under the democrats, you said that groceries went up 22%, and i dont think people wanted them to go up anymore.
I nthink Kamala would have had a much better chance at winning or at least being a bit closer if she had been chosen earlier during the primary and caucus season. She would have had a lot more time to go to states and campaign to try and win some of the swing states over. If she had won even one or two of the swing states she could have made it a whole different election.
