In counties across the US, Kamala Harris won many fewer votes than President Biden did four years ago, leading some to conclude that Democrats didn't turn out this year. However, this interpretation would be a mistake. The drop-off in the Democratic vote was largest in big blue cities, and it is wrong to assume that the voters who stayed home would have backed Harris. The low turnout among traditionally Democratic-leaning groups, especially nonwhite voters, was a reflection of lower support for Harris. Many Democrats soured on their party and stayed home, reluctantly backed Harris, or even made the leap to Trump.
