American presidential election: Kamala Harris shunned in New York, Democratic stronghold
(France 2)
In New York, a Democratic stronghold, Kamala Harris achieved the worst score in more than 30 years during the presidential elections on Tuesday, November 5.
The polling stations had not yet closed on Tuesday November 5. Nothing was over, it was time for smiles for Kamala Harris. The candidate herself called voters to show her confidence and mobilize until the end. But as the hours pass and the votes are counted, serenity leaves the Democratic camp. Faces were tense in a bar in Washington, entirely committed to the cause of Kamala Harris.
Disappointed, the activists ended up leaving the headquarters where the victory speech was planned, a mixture of anger and incomprehension. Kamala Harris replaced Joe Biden this summer in the race for the White House. Hope had returned to the Democrats, it was immense, as is now the disappointment after this defeat.
