Biden’s decision to exit the race paved the way for Harris to take center stage, with the former president endorsing her to lead the ticket. Some saw this as a natural progression, but others argued it felt more like a coronation than a competitive nomination, creating tension with the Democrats’ “save democracy” message.
Harris shares more than just a loss with Hillary Clinton. Both received backing from high-profile Hollywood figures, but those endorsements weren’t enough to secure a victory. Not even Taylor Swift could turn the “Harris Era” into reality.
In her concession speech, Harris expressed, “The outcome of this election is not what we hoped, not what we fought for, not what we voted for. But hear me when I say… the light of America’s promise will always burn bright as long as we never give up and keep fighting.”
Meanwhile, Trump is working to reshape U.S. energy policy. His executive orders are aimed at challenging Biden and Harris’s climate agenda, with plans to ramp up fossil fuel production and declare an “energy emergency.” This series of orders could be the most significant shift in U.S. energy policy since the 1973 oil embargo, according to Just the News.
Trump’s plan includes support for mining critical minerals, fast-tracking approvals for energy projects on public lands, and streamlining infrastructure development. He’s also focused on Alaska, outlining guidelines for energy resource development there—though many of these actions are expected to face legal challenges from Democrat governors and environmental groups.
