I gave myself a week before recording this to approach it with a clear head, allowing some

0:04.9

space from the immediate emotions of election night.

Despite my heartbreak over the results, I want to break down why my prediction of Kamala Harris

0:13.6

winning every single battleground state completely missed the mark, explore some of the reasons

0:19.0

behind Kamala Harris's loss, and try to understand how

0:22.8

America could re-elect Donald Trump after witnessing everything he has said and done over the

0:28.5
