Dan Morain: Former LA Times Editor on Kamala Harris' loss to Donald Trump in the US Election

The man who "wrote the book" on Kamala Harris says the Democrats would have been in a worse position without her.  The Democratic Party has lost the 2024 Election, Kamala Harris falling short as Donald Trump claimed more than the 270 Electoral votes needed to secure the presidency.  CNN is also projecting that the Republican Party will control the Senate, though the House is still up for grabs.   Former LA Times Editor Dan Morain —who wrote a biography of Harris— told Mike Hosking Harris has raised more than a billion dollars for the cause.  “Money doesn’t always determine the outcome, but it sure helps.”  “And she had this incredible ‘get out to vote’ effort in the swing states, and [Trump] was relying on something that was much less organised than what the Democrats did.”  Morain says that Harris ran as good a race as she possibly could have run in the three months she had.   LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
