The Washington Post is seeking feedback from women on Donald Trump's victory over Kamala Harris in the presidential election, which continues the tradition of male presidents in the U.S. They are interested in understanding what this outcome means for women voters.

Despite Trump's gains among non-white and younger voters, these are mostly in Democratic strongholds, and polls may be overcorrecting in his favor. Additionally, congressional races are trending Democratic, suggesting a potential blue wave. Harris's campaign is focusing on Trump's struggles with women, college-educated, and suburban voters.

However, there are positive signs for Biden among voters aged 18-29 and suburban voters, where he leads Trump.
