(1,025 posts)Stein won just 0.4% of the votes nationwide. Several polls showed she drew more votes away from Trump than Harris. Even if Harris took all the Stein votes in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania, she would have still lost those states.
What hurt Harris the most was Trump voters were far more racially diverse than his voters in 2016 and 2020.Trump was near equal with Harris with Hispanic voters 48% to 51% when Biden won 61% to 36%. Trump won 15% of Black voters (chiefly males) up 8% from four years earlier. 40% of Asians voted for Trump while 57% supported Harris. Biden won Asians 70% to 30% in 2020.
Trump has held an edge among voters without four-year college degrees in all of his campaigns, but his 56% to 42% results were double his margin in 2016.
So instead of blaming Stein you can blame all these voters or just admit the majority of Americans were not going to vote for a black woman. This leads me to ask what would have happened if Biden had just been a one term transitional president and had not sought to run for a second term?
