Battle of the sexes? The widening gender divide in US politics
Edité par France 24 - 2024
The Economist magazine recently ran a story entitled "Crypto bros v. cat ladies". We hear from a researcher quoted in that piece, which reveals that the gender gap is about much more than cultural tastes.
When Barack Obama chastises the growing number of Black men voting Republican, is it about their skin colour or simply the fact that they are men?
Beyond views on abortion and reproductive rights, there are fears in this fast-changing world over economic opportunities on both sides of the divide. Are those fears justified? And how will they play out electorally?
Produced by Andrew Hilliar, Rebecca Gnignati and Annarosa Zampaglione.
- Note
It's the home stretch of a fiercely partisan presidential race in the United States, a nation where political fault lines seem to increasingly match the gender of the voter who is casting a ballot. If you are an American woman, you are more and more likely to vote for Kamala Harris. If you are a man, for Donald Trump. Why does this election seem like a battle of the sexes?
