The Democratic Party plunged into introspection after Vice President Kamala Harris faced a surprising electoral defeat to former President Donald Trump. The loss has sparked widespread criticism and questioning within the party.

Many Democrats expressed shock at the defeat, blaming the party for allegedly concealing Joe Biden's true health status which led to a sudden withdrawal from the presidential race. This decision followed a contentious televised debate with Trump that raised doubts about Biden's fitness for office.

Moreover, shifting voter demographics played a crucial role in Harris' defeat. Young and female voters, once considered strongholds for Harris, leaned towards Trump instead. The Democratic Party now faces a call for transformation, with some members highlighting the need for renewed strategies and leadership to regain public trust.
