(Harrisburg, PA) Some experts contend part of the reason Vice President Kamala Harris lost the 2024 presidential election was because of what they’re calling “misogynoir”, the intersection of sexism and racism. In 2020 the Keystone State backed Joe Biden and Harris, the first woman vice president. But just last month, President-elect Donald Trump won Pennsylvania with 19 electoral votes. Co-Founder of the Black Voters Matter Fund LaTosha Brown says despite the loss and Trump’s relentless personal attacks on Harris, millions of Americans did vote for her because of what she embodied. Brown argues that while Trump weaponized gender and race, it was also what drew many to Harris. However, after Harris lost every battleground state, Democrats have been regrouping, some blaming external factors, others pointing to a failure to address working-class concerns.
