Only marginally so but a big reason for her loss is that she did worse among Hispanics (both Hispanic women and men), Black men and Asians than Biden did. She also did worse among Black women than Hillary in 2016.
The truth is that if Harris had performed at Biden's numbers with minority voters, she would have won the popular vote by 5-6 points and the election.
Blacks also had a smaller turnout in places like Michigan and Pennsylvania compared to 2020.
