One phenomenon that’s been getting a lot of attention during this election is the growing gender gap among young people.
Young men are leaning right, and young women are moving left.
In recent national surveys from The New York Times and Siena College, young women favored Kamala Harris by 42 percentage points and young men favored Donald Trump by 12 points.

So, as we enter the election’s final days, we wanted to see how these messages were landing in the key battleground state of Wisconsin.
On the show today: What’s driving the gender divide in 2024? And is Trump’s bet on young men working?
