After Republican Donald Trump won the US Presidential race, experts are weighing in what went wrong for Kamala Harris. Experts said Harris had been dealt an especially difficult hand amid lingering inflation and low approval ratings for President Joe Biden - who gave up a chance at re-election to clear the way for Harris. "I think in retrospect, one of her biggest challenges wasn't about her. It was about the fact from the start you were running as a candidate who was tied to a deeply unpopular administration," said presidential historian and Princeton University professor Julian Zelizer. Following Biden’s dramatic withdrawal just months before Election Day, Harris threw her campaign together as if it were an airplane being built while in flight, her advisers told reporters. The 60-year-old former prosecutor and U.S. senator pressed a case that Trump was a threat to democracy and that emphasized women’s rights, while promoting a populist economic platform and reproductive freedoms. Her entrance upended a race that her party had looked set to lose. She made history as the first woman of color at the top of a major party ticket. She triggered a surge in enthusiasm, broke fundraising records – raising $1 billion in less than three months – and drew endorsements from celebrities ranging from pop star Taylor Swift to actor and former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. But Harris’ campaign ultimately failed to overcome deep-seated voter concerns about inflation and immigration – twin issues that opinion polls showed favored Trump.

While speaking on Congress party’s loss in Haryana elections, AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi said that despite so many factors working against the BJP, Congress still couldn’t defeat it. He said, “...Congress party should have taken advantage of the 10 years of anti-incumbency, but it seems that due to their internal differences, BJP got the benefit. If you give the BJP even a little chance in the electoral battle, then the BJP takes advantage of it. After the 2024 elections in the Parliament, I had said that those who are saying that this is a big success on hatred, I had said at the time also that this is not the case, so who is responsible for the success of BJP? You (Congress) are the main opposition there and they had the golden opportunity to defeat BJP but they could not do it... despite so many factors working against the BJP, Congress still couldn’t defeat it…” On Congress blaming the EVMs for their defeat in the Haryana assembly elections, AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi said, “It is very easy to blame EVMs. You win due to EVMs and when you lose, then it is wrong.

In a dramatic development in Haryana, the BJP appears to be gaining ground after six rounds of counting. However, the Congress party has raised concerns regarding the slow reporting of results by the Election Commission of India (ECI). Congress leaders Pawan Khera and Jairam Ramesh have voiced allegations that the declared rounds of counting do not align with the actual progress, claiming that results from 10-11 rounds have already been determined while only 4-5 rounds are reflected on the ECI's website. Ramesh stated, "We are filing a memorandum in the next 5-7 minutes. We are lodging a complaint. We hope that the EC will answer our questions." He accused the ECI of using this delay as a tactic to exert pressure on the administration. As the political landscape intensifies, Congress seeks clarity and transparency in the counting process amid these contentious claims.
