Like I said, there’s no actual way to prove what exactly did it, but if I were a betting man, I’d say it’s because she moved to the middle and shed her previous progressive vibes and policy wise. She’s viewed as the more moderate candidate right now.
People who don’t vote on policy aka swing voters don’t want either a far left progressive or a far right conservative. Which ever party’s candidate successfully defines their opponent as more extreme wins the majority of the undecided voters. Trump won the majority of them in 2016. Biden won the majority of them in 2020. I’m hoping Harris wins them in 2024.
Again, I have no way to prove this, though. That said, 2022 elections wound up exactly as that, where Democrats successfully defined their opponents as extremists in a lot of swing seats with a Republican leaning electorate, which turned a potential wave into a trickle. So, I think this explanation fits well.
Because of her statements about limiting asylum?
