Before the election it was clear that Kamala Harris ’s closing message was not landing with working-class voters. The Center for Working Class Politics (CWCP) sounded the alarm that the Democrats could be heading for a disaster. And last Tuesday, disaster struck .

Harris lost badly. She resoundingly lost the electoral college (226 to 312 as of publication), and she lost the critical blue-wall states of Pennsylvania , Michigan and Wisconsin . Democrats even lost the popular vote for the first time in 20 years. In short, Harris lost the working class.
