Across the country, the election looks similar—more a repudiation of national Democrats, and especially the Democratic candidate for president, than a rejection of Democratic policy priorities.(...) Even in U.S. Senate races, Democratic candidates ran ahead of Harris in almost every competitive contest. (Florida was the odd race out.)
結局のところ、ハリスが弱かったと考えるのが最も合理的なのかな。そもそも、2020年の予備選では前哨戦段階で脱落するほど人気がなかったのは事実だし。Popular vote で負けているのは、青い州でも強い支持を得られなかったということ。
