Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) presents a golden gavel to Vice President Kamala Harris outside of the Senate chamber at the US Capitol on December 5, 2023. | Drew Angerer/Getty Images Kamala Harris lost the presidential election and Democrats lost control of the Senate.  But when you zoom in on the details of that result, there’s a striking pattern: Democratic Senate candidates are outperforming Harris. Or, put another way, Republican Senate candidates are doing worse than Trump. In recent years, the outcome of a state’s US Senate race has increasingly matched the outcome of its simultaneous presidential race. Ticket-splitting has decreased in our era of polarization and partisanship. The vast majority of people voting for a presidential candidate also vote for their party’s Senate candidate. But not everyone does that. And there’s still some variation in how much better or worse Senate candidates do compared to the top of the ticket. Looking at that variation can provide clues about what sorts of candidates overperform (even if they don’t actually win). It can also help shape our understanding of national trends. Was there a nationwide backlash against all Democrats? Or was the backlash mostly limited to the presidential candidate? In 2020, Republican Senate candidates overperformed Trump in most swing states, suggesting that Trump was a drag on the GOP. This year, Democratic Senate candidates overperformed Harris in almost every key race — though often it wasn’t by enough for Democrats to win. Here’s how the Senate candidates in key races performed compared to Harris. The counts aren’t yet finalized so the margins are subject to change, but this is how things looked as of early Wednesday afternoon. Nebraska: Independent Dan Osborn’s vote share is about 7 points higher than Harris, but he lost. Montana: Sen. Jon Tester’s vote share is also about 7 points higher than Harris. He also lost. Ohio: Sen. Sherrod Brown’s vote share is about 4 points higher than Harris. He lost. Arizona: Rep. Ruben Gallego’s vote share is about 4 points higher than Harris and he’s currently leading even though Harris seems on track to lose there. Texas: Rep. Colin Allred’s vote share is about 3 points higher than Harris, but he failed to unseat Sen. Ted Cruz. Nevada: Sen. Jacky Rosen’s vote share was about 2 points higher than Harris. Her race is too close to call. Wisconsin: Sen. Tammy Baldwin’s vote share was less than a point higher than Harris’s, but Baldwin defeated her challenger, Eric Hovde, while Harris lost the state. Michigan and Pennsylvania: Both Democratic Senate candidates in these states (Rep. Elissa Slotkin and incumbent Sen. Bob Casey) have vote shares about 1 point higher than Harris’s. Neither race has been called. The pattern was also evident in less competitive races like Minnesota, New Mexico, New Jersey, and Virginia, where Democratic Senate candidates outperformed Harris. One notable exception to Tuesday’s down-ballot overperformance trend was Florida, where Debbie Mucarsel-Powell did about the same as Harris (and lost). There’s also Maryland, where Angela Alsobrooks won but did significantly worse than Harris — but that has an obvious explanation in that the state’s popular former governor, Larry Hogan, was the Republican Senate nominee (though his popularity wasn’t enough to power him to a win in an otherwise blue state). So why were there so many voters casting their ballots for Trump and Democratic Senate candidates? Some might argue for racism or sexism explaining Harris’s struggles, but I’d note that several of the Democratic candidates who overperformed Harris were nonwhite or female. Others might argue that she was a uniquely flawed candidate or campaigner, but President Joe Biden was on track to do much worse if he’d stayed in the race. My suspicion is that Harris’s electoral struggles were more about Biden’s unpopularity and her association with his administration than any newfound love of the American public for the Republican Party generally. (This is also reflected in the House of Representatives contest currently looking somewhat close and in Democratic success at the state level in places like North Carolina.) Call them the “I don’t like Republicans much, but the economy was better under Trump” voters. Biden lost them, and Harris failed to get them back.

Voters kept saying they were mad about high prices. Turns out they meant it.

Donald Trump pumps his fist moments after an assassination attempt. In 1992, voters sent a record number of women to Congress, leading the media and political scientists to call it the “Year of the Woman.” When the final votes are counted in the 2024 election, we might have a new way of referring to the 2024 election: The Year of the Man.  President-elect Donald Trump won men by 10 points this year, according to early exit polls, a result that could change once the final votes are tallied. Vice President Kamala Harris, meanwhile, seemed to win women by 10 points — but if the exit polls are correct, she lost ground with women compared to Biden’s 2020 results. The exit polls also suggest a rightward shift for Latino men. In marshaling men’s votes, and holding on to a slim majority of white women, Trump was able to overcome his weaknesses with the broader swath of female voters and build a dominant lead, allowing him to decisively capture the presidency.  Exit polls are notoriously unreliable, and it will likely be days before we have a clear sense of how Trump won. But there’s no denying that Trump tailored his campaign to appeal to men. Trump spent the months leading up to Election Day engaging in intense outreach to male voters, appearing on podcasts and doing interviews with influential media figures like Joe Rogan, Logan Paul, and Theo Von. He portrayed himself as a strong leader capable of restoring the nation’s lost glory — returning it, in other words, to a time when men were undisputedly at the top of the social hierarchy. After a man attempted to assassinate the former president at a rally this summer in Pennsylvania, Trump stood defiantly with blood on his face and his fist raised in the air, projecting an air of strength that was praised as iconic. Throughout the campaign, Trump demonstrated the aggressiveness that has defined his life in the public arena, relentlessly attacking his Democratic opposition, the media, and anyone he deemed insufficiently supportive.  Trump specifically sought to get young men of all races and men without a college education to the polls. It was a risky strategy because the voters Trump was seeking have historically been among the most difficult to mobilize. But in appealing to them, Trump hoped to pull off another win similar to that of 2016, when he won men by 11 points. In 2020, Biden was able to defeat Trump in part by erasing his large advantage with male voters. This year, it seems, Trump won men back.   There are many reasons why male voters have been dissatisfied in recent years and might have been receptive to his messaging. Inflation has made the cost of living painful for millions of people post-pandemic. Men are falling behind women in education. Their wages are stagnating or declining as women’s wages grow, and fewer of them are working. They are struggling with an epidemic of loneliness that doesn’t seem to be affecting women the same way. Feminism has gone mainstream, making some men feel like they aren’t as valued.  What lessons should women take from this election? The polls leading up to the election showed a massive gender gap, with women preferring Kamala Harris by double digits and men preferring Donald Trump by the same. Since 1980, female voters have preferred Democrats, and in general, they have registered and voted in greater numbers than men.  Trump’s struggles with women were largely of his own creation. As a candidate in 2016, he was accused by multiple women of sexual assault, and was caught on tape bragging about sexual assault. It wasn’t enough to dissuade voters from electing him. As president, he appointed the Supreme Court justices who helped overturn federally protected abortion rights. Now, there are abortion bans in more than 20 US states, including some that don’t make an exception for victims of rape and incest. Last year, Trump was found legally liable for rape. He has repeatedly criticized women he doesn’t like, including Kamala Harris and Rep. Nancy Pelosi, in crude, sexist, and vulgar terms. In the days leading up to the election, recordings of the convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein calling Trump his closest friend became public.  None of it was enough to convince voters not to give him another shot at the most important job in the country. It seems that his winning coalition included white women, a majority of whom voted for Donald Trump in 2024, according to exit polls, just as they did four years ago. For a very real moment, it looked as though female voters, as a broader, multiracial group, might help send a Democrat to the White House, like they did in 2020.  In the end, it wasn’t enough. American voters have now twice chosen Trump over eminently qualified women.  The last time Trump won, women took to the streets in a historic protest. In the next election cycle, the United States elected more women to Congress than ever before. That helped pave the way for a new generation of women leaders, including the six women who ran for president as Democrats in 2020. It’s possible that will happen again. Ultimately, it will take several more days to tally the final votes, and figure out what they mean. But one conclusion seems obvious. Donald Trump ran a campaign geared toward dissatisfied men. It worked.
