According to sources Kamala Harris’ run for the white house ended in heartbreak as she faltered in swing states, as she would have been the first female US President. She is the second female rival trump has defeated in a presidential election. Harris, a late entrant in the election race, had initially galvanised Democrats as many high-profile celebrities and businessmen backed her bid.

Perhaps she was unable to convince disillusioned voters that she represented a break from Biden’s unpopular administration in a compressed timeline. On the other hand, trump stuck to his usual strategy to channel the frustration of the voters into his victory by highlighting issues of high prices and rising crime due to undocumented migrants entering on Biden’s watch. His harsh tone and language, though shocking several Democrats and Republicans, appeared to have worked.

Moreover the Indian-American Congressman further said “If you are sitting at home, worrying about your finances, if you’re sitting at home, struggling with the economy, if you’re still sitting at home and seeing this inflation and here is a presidential candidate who saying she’s not gonna do anything differently”. Thanedar added “It stuck in that there is a safety issue in America and that is attached to the immigrants migrating, and then he also talked about world events… They warned about the wars in ukraine and Gaza and he said when he was president, they did not have wars. We didn’t have this kind of war and stability in the world, like iran attacking Israel, so he articulated these three issues, and he did that very, very well”.
