What Went Wrong for Harris in the Swing States?

Bloomberg  

00:00 Something you said at this time yesterday morning stayed with me. And it looks like right now, based on the vote tallies, that she will lose that race, making Mike Rogers, the first Republican senator in the state of Michigan, going back to the early 2000, 2001 and only the second Republican senator in the last 67 years. David, we just heard from Remain there, talking of the fact that looks like the Republican open Senate seat in Michigan may go to Republican Mike Rogers. But I think that's a surprise to a lot of people who looked at the polling going into this race and saw just a few weeks ago, Bob Casey, the incumbent Democrat with a nine percentage point lead over David McCormack, That, of course, narrowed in that latest poll from The New York Times and Siena College. But you look at this state and where Kamala Harris won and where she didn't, where she did win, she underperformed Joe Biden in that last race.
