What is Titus's perspective on the US's readiness for a female president?: Titus asserts that Kamala Harris's late selection as a Democratic candidate, giving her only three months to campaign against an opponent already actively campaigning, significantly hampered her efforts. She also believes that there is no valid reason why a woman cannot be president.
What are the main reasons Dina Titus believes the Democrats lost the election?: Dina Titus, a Democratic congresswoman since 2013, believes Donald Trump's election threatens the American middle class. She attributes this to Trump's false promises and the economic pressure of high tariffs and inflation.
How did the border crisis and Trump's immigration policies affect the election outcome?: Titus argues that the Democrats lost ground because independent voters believed Trump's promises. She also cites the border crisis and Trump's actions concerning a bipartisan immigration bill as contributing factors.
