The Left can’t seem to grasp why people wouldn’t vote for them. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist.
And now a top Biden official betrayed Kamala by exposing the truth behind her shocking loss.
The last thing Democrats do is look in the mirror when they lose.
But the facts are unavoidable.
MSNBC host Jen Psaki admitted that Democrats had miscalculated by over-relying on “never-Trump” Republicans, instead of focusing on reaching disillusioned Democrats, after the party lost both the White House and the Senate in Tuesday’s election.
On MSNBC’s Morning Joe Friday, the former White House Press Secretary broke down “all the things the party got wrong” in assessing voters and their priorities this election.
Psaki noted that Democrats made a “huge misread” on the importance of the abortion issue, as millions of Americans who care deeply about it ultimately sided with Trump.
She added that the party needs to face the reality that many traditional Democratic voters chose not to support Vice President Kamala Harris.
“There’s s*xism, there’s racism—that’s true,” Psaki said:
“but I also think there’s a real question, I hope people start looking at, about who people are listening to. In my view, there was an over-listening to, and an over-lifting up of people who left Trump, not people who left the Democratic Party.”
“The people who left the Democratic Party are the people who are going to win in the future. The people who left Trump, the Never-Trumpers, who have important voices—that’s not the winning coalition, and I think that’s a takeaway,” she continued.

Psaki suggested that Democrats may have alienated voters by repeatedly framing Trump as “a threat to democracy” in their closing message.
“The last thing I’ll say, because I’ve been thinking about this a lot, is the part of that piece, the who you’re listening to, is also this argument—you just touched on this, Mika—about fascism. Fascism and the threat to democracy is a huge issue in this country. It’s one that should be talked about. Journalists should talk about it. People should dig into it. It is not a good closing message to reach the masses of the country. People don’t relate to it. It’s not understandable, and I hope that is a lesson,” Psaki concluded.
In the wake of Harris’s loss, media figures and Democrats have engaged in finger-pointing, blaming everything from racism and s*xism to President Biden’s performance and supposed misinformation for why key Democratic voting blocs turned away or failed to support Harris.
According to Fox News Voter Analysis, President-elect Trump made significant inroads with Black, Hispanic, and young voters, while Harris fell short of Biden’s 2020 numbers.
Overall, young voters backed Harris by just 8 points, a significant drop from Biden’s 16-point margin in 2020.
She also underperformed with women and Black voters compared to Biden, winning women by only 8 points (compared to Biden’s 12-point lead) and securing 88% of Black voters, down from Biden’s 94%.
