I'm gratified to see how little the "first woman president," or "first Black/Indian woman president" identity play is being emphasized. I think that 's an old message, and the critical thing is to beat Trump and wound MAGA. Doing that with a woman, man, dog, or potted plant, doesn't matter. Not to compare Kamala Harris to dogs or potted plants, of course!

There's also some issues that transcend the racism and misogyny. Abortion, Project 2025, and the Trump/Vance ticket. Women are driving the vibe and that certainly isn't hurting Harris.

Very true, but the gender gap is concerning. Hopefully concern about the issues you mention and not overly focusing on firsts can keep some likely trump voting guys at home. I know several guys that will never vote for Harris, but maybe they'll stay home.

I'm hoping Tim Walz can start making a small dent in that gender gap. A guy with a gun who is not a complete a**hole but won't be pushed around.
