Did Harris' constrained campaign timeline hurt her chances?

Vice President Kamala Harris has conceded the election to President-elect Donald Trump after running a short but historic presidential campaign. Many Americans might now be wondering: If the Harris had become the Democratic presidential nominee sooner, could the election have had a different result? Political strategists Maura Gillespie and Chuck Rocha join "America Decides" to discuss.

I hope this is a lesson for the Liberal Main Media... We are tired of your one way bias reporting and twisting the Truth!

More time and she would have made a bigger fool out of herself.

[jessalyngriswold]

Timeline was the least of her problems. She was never the best choice for the Democratic Party. If they had an actual Primary, they would have caught that.

[tdavis]

How about actually running a primary and allowing the people to decide their candidate? Instead they shoehorned in a politician who couldn’t even win their own state in the last primary they participated in.

[dianahill]

In my opinion: Biden should have never decided to campaign for a 2nd term, and allowed Democrats to select a candidate more to their liking.

[gtjj]

If the people had ANY say in who was their candidate, this would’ve ended differently

[leonarddonohue]

The more she opened her mouth the worse she looked. Soooo no.

[bigworm]

Un-democratically forcing her onto a ticket where she got 0 primary votes...what could have gone wrong

[edvos]

You have women accustomed to getting ahead with looks, identity politics and by "dating" the right people! When faced with a serious contender, she failed miserably! DNC should not have outsted Tusi Gabbard, she's a phenomenal women who has gotten ahead based soley on hard work, smarts and merit!

[bigghago]

Nope her lack of clear policy after 4 horrible economic years. Immigration un checked and wierd trans laws

[AnonAmouse-dt]

Her inability to put together an intelligent sentence, her refusal to tak about issues, and the fact that she positioned her self as an agent of change, while representing the current administration is a big chunk of why she failed so miserably. Also, the fact that the "leadership", once again, foisted a candidate on the party, rather than risking an actual legitimate process to take place, fearing that the rank-and-file might opt for a much better candidate (who, incidentally, isn't in the pocket of the Clinton/Obama syndicate) is why many swing voters voted for tRump. Next time, let the rank-and-file choose their candidate. You might have a better showing. RFK and Tulsi would have been far preferable candidates than that giggling stoner.

When you have limited timeline but spent most of your campaign hiding from the press, and giving 10 minute rally speeches, you lose.

[bethanycarlson]

It was Harris herself that made us vote Trump! We do not like her!

[bazzawattz]

Voters deserve straight answers not condescending fake accents and unintelligible double speak .

[StalinTheManfSteel]

She was a terrible candidate, and Tim Walz was a terrible VP pick! That's all of it.

[WildlandsRescue]

It had nothing to do with the timeline, her gender, or ethnicity. It had everything to do with the fact that she is an inarticulate war hawk, was anointed without a single vote, and is an abysmal leader.

[snowlothar]

Lack of policies and zero ability to answer the simplest questions lost it. That and people are tired of being broke. Americans are smart enough to see where the problem lies - with democrats policies or lack of.

[jisseidydiaz]

It’s true a lot went wrong. A lot of concerns were ignored and people expressed their dissatisfaction via their vote.

[searay]

Biden, Kamala, it wouldn't have mattered.They both would have gone down in flames.
The American people were sick of the biden administration and the democrats.
