Worth noting that not only did she get 4% less than Biden in 2020, but Texas also had a 5.5% lower voter turnout. Texas's voter turnout is abysmal, but it's a bit less abysmal when it's 2 white men running against each other.

She lost because she was a woman and because a small percentage of people thought Trump - for whatever reason - Vinca Sunday #12

I highly disagree with that. Unfortunately Harris being black and a woman added a deficit to her votes. As for CA, well themaguffin Sunday #13

Yes, in her case being from California wasn't even used to attack her JI7 Sunday #24

She lost becsuse she is a black woman . The crazy black guy in North Carolina lost also JI7 Sunday #23
