The United States held its 60th quadrennial presidential election on November 5, 2024, to elect its 47th president. To the chagrin of many liberal supporters, Donald Trump got 75 million votes, translating to 312 electoral college votes, while Kamala Harris garnered 72 million votes, resulting in 226 electoral college votes. Kamala's defeat reveals a lot about the world's restraint towards Democratic politics.
Had she been elected, Kamala could have become the first woman president of the United States. As a feminist and a Black woman, combined with her liberal (Democratic) stance, she faced some of the toughest battles of her life, testing the Democrats in the United States. The election outcome has exposed American society as still highly prejudiced against Black people and misogynistic.
