She also refused to say if she would keep Lina Khan and other things. There were a ton of stories about how she was talking to billionaires to get their donations too. Might not have been 'just' Gaza, but there was nothing there for the working class. She even managed to piss off the Teamsters.
Same issue. Basically no one knew who Lina Khan outside of lemmy or reddit.
She was the best FTC head in our nation's history, but got basically zero press out of niche online spaces. She was in no way a factor in swinging votes.
Working-class voters may not have known who Lina Khan was, but they definitely got the "vibes" that Trump was at least pretending to care about them in a way that Harris was absolutely not.
