Understanding the Decline in Democratic Votes
The podcast identifies a significant drop in Democratic votes from 2020 to 2024, with Joe Biden receiving 81 million votes compared to Kamala Harris's 75 million. This decline raises questions about the unity and cohesiveness of the Democratic coalition.
