How did the left react to their loss in the 2024 election?

What role did celebrities play in Kamala Harris's campaign?

Celebrities like Jennifer Lopez, Christina Aguilera, and Cardi B were used in Kamala Harris's campaign, but their endorsements were out of touch and failed to move the needle. The left's reliance on celebrity culture was seen as a weakness and a disconnect from everyday Americans.

How did the media's portrayal of Trump impact the 2024 election?

How did the Republican Party unify during the 2024 election?

The Republican Party unified by focusing on core issues like school choice, border security, and a strong military. They also embraced Trump's appeal to working-class voters and his ability to shift the Overton Window, bringing more people into the conservative fold.
