The Gender Election
A stark new gender divide has formed among the country’s youngest voters. Young men have drifted toward Donald Trump, while young women are surging toward Kamala Harris.
As a result, men and women under 30, once similar in their politics, are now farther apart than any other generation of voters.
Claire Cain Miller, a reporter who covers gender for The New York Times, discusses a divide that is defining this election.
