The web traffic analysis company Glimpse recently published its list of the 100 people most searched for in 2024 (based on its sampling of Google's traffic).
The rankings struck me as having some interest for their implications about the political events of the year, not least that where Donald Trump was the most searched person during the year as a whole (and critically in the month of October) President Joseph Biden did not make the top 100 at all. (Indeed, the only "Joe" who made the list was Joe Rogan, who made the #20 spot.) At the same time Biden's Vice-President and (from August forward) Democratic Party's candidate for the Presidency of the United States Kamala Harris made only the #10 spot on the list, with scarcely one-ninth of Trump's searches in their sample. This seems to me to confirm the view that her comparatively low profile and her being a relatively unknown quantity to the voters worked against her during the election, testifying to the mismanagement that predictably led to the debacle for the Democratic Party that that election proved to be.
