A tale of ticket splitters

The core constituency of the Democratic Party is arguably African Americans - a voting bloc that consistently votes in eye-popping percentages in favor of Democrats. But this time around Donald Trump was able to win over just enough Black voters to make a difference, and Kamala Harris - the first Black woman at the top of a major party ticket - lost. What, if anything, should be learned by the Democratic Party about these two things?
