“The Daily Show” tries to make sense of the outcome of the 2024 election

“What the hell, America? We’ve had two qualified, accomplished women nominated for president, and both times they lost to the worst man in the entire country.”

Although Lydic started the one on Wednesday Daily show voicing his frustrations and confusion over the 2024 election results, before trying to unpack exactly where Harris went wrong. Problem? As she shows in a series of clips, no one seems to agree, with pundits saying Harris was too far left, too far right, not pro-Israel enough, not pro-Palestinian enough, not pro-Palestinian enough distant from Joe Biden and not loyal enough to Joe Biden.

“This all makes sense, if I put all the pieces together, who knows?!” Lydic says, going on to say that she’s more interested in why Trump won than why Harris lost.

“It’s pretty clear that it’s America that needs diagnosis. Because everything is wrong itwe love the hell out of it. Right now, Donald Trump is holding up a mirror to the American people, and it might be time to take a good look.”

Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbertand Seth Meyers shared their reactions.
