Soon after Vice President Kamala Harris lost the presidential election, Democratic officials began working on a postmortem on her campaign, seeking to find out what went wrong. Lawmakers offered numerous potential reasons for her loss, including that Harris put forward inadequate economic proposals and alienated key constituencies.

President Joe Biden told US veterans Monday that serving as commander-in-chief had been the "greatest honor" of his life as he laid a wreath at a ceremony that marked his first appearance with Kamala Harris since her election defeat.
