Top 5 biggest political turkeys ripped by conservatives in 2024

As the 2024 election season draws to a close, several prominent figures in the media and the Democratic Party are facing disappointing results at the ballot box. From Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi to George Soros and Kamala Harris, key players are grappling with the aftermath of a challenging election cycle.

Senator Chuck Schumer, leader of the Democratic Party in the U.S. Senate, saw his party lose the majority in the November election, with Republicans now in control of the chamber. In a statement following the election, Schumer emphasized the need for bipartisan legislation to move forward in the Senate.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, a key figure in the Democratic Party, faced intense scrutiny for her role in pushing Vice President Kamala Harris as the presidential candidate instead of President Biden. Pelosi has faced criticism from within her own party for her handling of the election and the subsequent loss of the presidency.

Meanwhile, George Soros, a major donor to progressive causes, suffered significant losses in California on election night. Voters in the state rejected progressive policies on crime, including rolling back key provisions of Proposition 47. Soros-backed candidates, such as District Attorney George Gascon in Los Angeles, faced defeat as crime became a top issue for voters.

In addition, Vice President Kamala Harris, who ran a star-studded campaign with celebrity endorsements from the likes of Oprah Winfrey and Beyoncé, failed to secure the presidency. Despite a billion-dollar spending spree and high-profile events with celebrities, Harris was unable to connect with swing state voters and ultimately lost the election.

Pollsters also faced criticism for failing to predict the outcome of the election accurately. Conservative commentators pointed to a polling miss similar to the one seen in 2016, with pollsters underestimating support for former President Trump. Veteran pollster J. Ann Selzer came under fire for her prediction that Harris would win Iowa, which ultimately went to Trump by a significant margin.

Overall, the 2024 election season has been a challenging one for the Democratic Party and its key figures. As they regroup and reflect on the results, there are lessons to be learned and changes to be made moving forward. The political landscape is evolving, and it remains to be seen how these figures will navigate the challenges ahead.
