It's hard to compare, because the establishment Democrats decided to split the vote by running Cuomo as an independent. The election had the highest turnout since '93, including lots of new voters. That's what was missing in Harris's loss in the Presidential election—voter turnout.
It's really not a hard formula: Promise to do things to address the pain points in people's lives, speak out on moral issues that people care about, like genocide, and have the courage of your convictions. Give people an affirmative reason to vote for you, rather than shout at and blame those who didn't.
