    Political scientist Professor Wilfred Riley of Kentucky State University returns to Real Clear to share his unique insights into the recent U.S. presidential election. We explore why Kamala Harris's defeat was more about her own campaign missteps, lackluster appeal, and public speaking challenges rather than the oversimplified ideological explanations often touted.

    Diving into the Democratic Party's challenges, we question whether "woke" ideology and the decision to back Kamala Harris without a primary challenge were strategic missteps. Could a centrist figure like Joe Manchin have shifted the tide? We dig into the intricacies of race and gender politics, particularly the pivotal role of the black male vote, and consider whether a pivot to more centrist policies might better serve the Democrats in future elections.

    We also scrutinize Donald Trump's governance style and the importance of assembling a competent leadership team. Comparing Trump's past reliance on controversial figures with the need for experienced advisors, we assess his recent proposals on tariffs and taxes and their potential impact. Join us for a thought-provoking conversation that challenges conventional wisdom and explores practical paths forward for both parties.
