Opinion - The 2024 election exposed Republicans' worst weakness [View all]

(The Hill) The dust has settled on the 2024 election, and Republicans remain gleeful about their opponents’ struggles. One source of Republican glee is the now-infamous financial mismanagement of the Kamala Harris presidential campaign.

In just 15 weeks, the Harris-Walz campaign burned through $1.5 billion, only to lose convincingly in seven out of seven battlegrounds. From glitzy fundraisers to millions of dollars on a single celebrity endorsement, the Harris spending spree was historic for all the wrong reasons, and more details are emerging by the week that will live in infamy long after election 2024.

Democrats are now left wondering how they became “the party of the elites,” to quote The New Yorker. Republicans, on the other hand, can celebrate a Trump campaign that was drastically outspent but outperformed Harris in every single battleground state.
