Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy criticized the Democratic Party's "arrogance" and "moral superiority" as key reasons behind Kamala Harris's 2024 election loss to Donald Trump.
In a recent Instagram video, Portnoy shared that he felt “no choice” but to vote for Trump, as Democrats alienated Independent voters with a campaign he deemed “the worst.” He emphasized Trump’s sweeping victory, noting that Trump won both the Electoral College and the popular vote, surpassing his previous 2020 election numbers.
Portnoy’s sharp critique targeted the Democratic campaign’s focus on portraying Trump as a threat to democracy, which he labeled as “fearmongering.” He stated that this approach insulted voters’ intelligence, driving away the “middle ground” and branding Trump supporters with extreme labels like "Nazis" and "Hitler." Portnoy argued that such language alienated many Americans, adding, “The pure arrogance and moral superiority have driven people away.”
According to Portnoy, the Democrats failed to attract Independent voters with this strategy, ultimately setting Harris up for defeat. He concluded by congratulating Trump and reaffirming his vote, calling Harris “the worst presidential candidate in the history of American politics.”
