I disagree that the electorate moved to the right in 2024. Trump got almost the same number of votes as he did in 2020 while Harris lost something like 10 million votes because she spent more time trying to court the right than caring about anyone left of “moderate” Republicans. Certain demographics may have shifted slightly but again the totals speak for themselves and it could just as easily be her pushing people away than Trump attracting them.
The DNC itself has been moving further and further right and it keeps costing them elections because the people that they’re supposed to represent are sick and tired of being ignored in favor of the powerful and wealthy, yet they refuse to do anything about it even though they can see the result of this strategy over and over again just like the rest of us.

There is no evidence that this is the reason she lost voters.
But there is evidence that a significant number of Biden 2020 voters switched to Trump this year. That’s the definition of a shift to the right.
