Kamala Harris’ handlers admitted one ugly truth that Democrats were trying to cover up

The after-action report on the 2024 election is tough medicine for the Democrat Party to swallow.

Trump’s crushing victory left the party in ruins.

And Kamala Harris’ handlers admitted one ugly truth that Democrats were trying to cover up.

The Democrat Party’s tough math 

David Plouffe – one of Barack Obama’s chief advisors – came onboard to help run the Kamala Harris campaign after Obama and Nancy Pelosi successfully pressured Biden to drop out of the race.

Plouffe was one of the Kamala handlers who appeared on the podcast Pod Save America to give their version of events as to why Kamala fell short.

Going into the election there was much talk about the vaunted “blue wall states” of Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.

The blue wall states have been won by every Democrat nominee between 1992 and 2012.

Trump cracked the blue wall in 2016 when he flipped Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.

Biden winning them back in 2020 handed him the White House.

The media endlessly speculated that Kamala Harris’ only path to victory rode through the blue wall.

But Plouffe broke some bad news to the media and to the left.

The blue wall isn’t actually as blue as they think.

And that’s because Plouffe explained that conservatism is actually more popular than liberalism in the swing states.

“Let’s look at Pennsylvania. 25% of the electorate is liberal, roughly. 34% is conservative. By the way, in most battleground states, that conservative number is over 40. So, in every battleground state, there’s more conservative than liberals,” Plouffe began.

Democrats spent years telling themselves that open borders, the war in Ukraine, abortion on demand, and the transgender agenda were winning issues.

One of the top strategists on the left is breaking the news that the left’s issue stances put their candidates behind the eight ball in states like the swing states.

Plouffe said for a Democrat to win Pennsylvania they have to clean up with moderate voters, something Kamala Harris couldn’t do because of her support for transgender surgeries for prisoners, banning fracking, and other loony leftwing positions she took when she ran for President in 2020.

“So, in Pennsylvania, if exits are believed, Trump won conservatives 91-8, Harris won liberals 93-6. Moderates, Harris won 56-43, but you kind of got to win 60% of them, right? For Democrats to win battleground states, it is a false choice,” Plouffe added.

An unpopular agenda 

Plouffe also noted Democrats had challenges turning out black men because Kamala Harris and her woke platform turned them off.

“You want to maximize your base, of course, and that was a place where we spent an enormous time, a lot of resources. That’s critical. And obviously, I think in Milwaukee, just to use that as an example, we hit our turnout targets. Fell a little bit short in Philly and Detroit, so that’s not good, that’s part of the equation,” Plouffe continued.

Plouffe explained to the leftwing base that if the party hoped to win elections in 2026 and 2028 it needed to moderate and ditch toxic leftist positions.

 “You’ve got to couple that with dominating in the middle, not just winning it a little. We have to dominate the moderate vote, and I think as we look ahead to ’26 and ’28, particularly where you have seen drift amongst non-college voters generally – particularly those of color, specifically – we obviously have to get some of that back,” Plouffe concluded.
