Vice President Kamala Harris lost big to President-elect Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election, but if the 2028 election was held today.

As Democrats try to figure out why the country lurched so dramatically toward Republican candidates in this year’s election, one congressman’s analysis of what went wrong has garnered particular attention — and backlash. Representative Seth Moulton, a Democrat from Massachusetts, says his party faltered because it’s not willing to have debates on issues that Americans care about, including whether transgender girls should be allowed to participate in girls’ sports.

On Sept. 8, 2021, President Biden told a room full of labor leaders, workers, and government officials that he intended “to be the most pro-union president leading the most pro-union administration in American history.”

It turns out it’s Democrats who moved away from the mainstream of American thought, leaving Republicans closer to the center and more relatable to voters.
