Full episode: DNC, Keystone campaign and female voters
We’re reporting live from the Democratic National Convention in Chicago as Harris and Walz court voters in the swing states. We’re also analyzing the battle for Pennsylvania as both campaigns take the Keystone State by storm. And could female voters be the key to victory?
WASHINGTON – Women in swing states could be the deciding factor in the upcoming election between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump for the White House.
According to the Center for American Women in Politics, more women have voted than men in every presidential election since 1980.
However, female suffrage is not a uniform phenomenon. It can be further broken down by race and culture.

And it would be presumptuous to assume that female voters would vote for Harris because she is a woman.
“Women want to see a female candidate,” social psychologist Danna Young told Battleground host SE Cupp. “But the idea that that’s enough to get those votes, I think a lot of women find condescending and patronizing.”
