Here in Washington Statue, we hardly elect Republicans. There are several reasons, but one of them is that the Republican Party runs really weird candidates.

The two people who could have gotten Donald Trump elected ran against him. That's how bad the candidates the Democrats ran were: The voters would rather have Donald Trump.

This is the point many people overlook. Biden won because a lot of voters said, "anyone but Trump" and Biden was acceptable. WaPo even pointed this out, just before Biden dropped out the anyone but Trump voters couldn't really accept Biden after the debate. Harris was not a strong candidate, especially after saying, on "The View," she said she would not change anything.

That reads like racism to be honest (not you, but the general Washington voter, if true).
