Democrats Face Challenges with Women Voters Amid Harris Setbacks

TL;DR Summary
In the recent election, Kamala Harris's campaign strategy to mobilize women voters, particularly on the issue of abortion rights, fell short as women did not turn out in the expected numbers. Despite a focus on reproductive rights, Harris's support among women was less than Joe Biden's in 2020, with significant losses among Latino and non-college educated women. Economic concerns, particularly inflation, were more decisive for many voters, favoring Donald Trump. Analysts suggest that gender dynamics and societal sexism may have also played a role in Harris's defeat.
