There were many factors.

Trump's dark charisma, Harris' lack of charisma, Trump's incessant 4-year campaign, the Vast RW Media's incessant attacks, the exposure of legacy Media's lost influence, Garland's floundering, the Harris Campaign's inability to formulate a coherent response to the Trans-attack ads, and the flibbertigibbet, memory-of-a-gnat uninformed American Voter.

It matters as an object lesson of how NOT to win.
