Despite Vice President Kamala Harris’ efforts to become the first female president, the United States remains without a woman in its highest office.
Globally, over 80 countries have had a female leader, but the U.S., a global superpower, lags behind. The country ranks 69th in gender parity in political participation.
Harris emphasized her qualifications and avoided focusing on her gender. However, her policies prioritized women’s rights.
Despite her efforts, preliminary exit polls show Harris underperformed with female voters. Trump made gains among this demographic compared to his previous performance.
Despite misogynistic remarks from Trump’s campaign, Harris only won women by a 10-point margin, narrower than Biden’s 15-point margin in 2020.
Trump’s two presidential wins were against female opponents, while his loss came to a male candidate.
