Kamala Harris' campaign for the White House focused on mobilizing voters upset over the U.S. Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade in 2022, which ended the federal right to abortion. Despite Harris' efforts, exit polls showed that abortion was not a top priority for most voters, with only 14% citing it as their primary issue, compared to nearly a third who said the economy was their main concern. Harris did better than Trump with women voters (53% to 45%), but her share of the female vote was smaller than Biden's in 2020, and Trump made gains among women, improving by 3 percentage points. While Harris campaigned for a federal law to restore abortion rights, Trump argued the issue should be left to states. As abortion laws become more state-specific, future state-level elections, particularly for state supreme courts, will be crucial in determining abortion access.

Kamala Harris delivered a concession speech on November 6, 2024, after her loss to Republican Donald Trump in the presidential race. While acknowledging the nation’s sense of uncertainty, she called for optimism and faith. Harris had become the Democratic nominee after Joe Biden stepped aside, but despite bringing enthusiasm and fundraising to the campaign, she struggled to address voter concerns over the economy and immigration. Trump’s improved performance in key battleground states, along with a sense of nostalgia for the pre-COVID economy, contributed to her defeat. Harris also faced challenges with limited time, having only 100 days to organize a national campaign. Political expert Andra Gillespie noted Harris’ relative lack of recognition compared to Trump, and difficulty distancing herself from the unpopular Biden administration. Future research may explore whether gender stereotypes and sexism played a role in the election’s outcome, particularly in how voters perceived Harris.
