As Republicans celebrate Donald Trump鈥檚 historic sweep of the US election, Democrats are left reckoning with how Kamala Harris failed to mobilize support.

Americast gets together for an election inquest to examine what went right and wrong. Is Joe Biden to blame for Harris鈥� loss? Or did something else cause the VP to underperform with the voters she needed to win?

Was Trump鈥檚 straight-forward messaging a winning strategy? Or has there been a fundamental shift among American voters that goes beyond politics?
