History will be kinder to him than Democrats currently are, let alone the voters, but that’s little consolation now. More than a week after the voters’ verdict, Democrats should stop the finger-pointing. When all votes are finally counted, Trump’s margin of victory will be two percentage points or less — the smallest since 1968. Democrats didn’t expect to keep their slim Senate majority even if Harris prevailed, and their candidates won in several states that she lost, limiting Republicans’ new majority. As annoying as Democrats’ squabbling is, it’s the sign of a healthy party to look inward after losses.
