Pa. Democrats on what went wrong against Donald Trump and what's next

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

50% : He noted that Trump carried or improved his margins in working-class towns in Lower Bucks County such as Tullytown and Falls Township.
48% : Harris actually invested more time and campaign resources outside of Philadelphia and the suburbs than most Democrats have, but Trump still increased his margins in 65 of 67 counties.
45% : And she lost ground in rural and Rust Belt areas where Trump really juiced his margins.
43% : Most agreed it wasn't one thing but a combination of several: an electorate that wanted change and felt the economy was broken, a still, somehow, underestimated appreciation for how Trump personally connects with voters here, and the hard-to-compute factors, like the challenges Harris faced as a woman of color in a state that has elected few women to higher office statewide.
40% : Is there something unique about Trump that attracted them or did we do something as a party to drive them away?"
28% : And when it comes to rural communities, Democrats ignore how Trump drives up numbers there at their own peril, several strategists said.
10% : Coridsco said the Harris campaign focused too much on attacking Trump as a menace instead of focusing on her economic plans.
