What Went Down On Night 3 Of The DNC

It’s become a trope in election analysis to talk about suburban women. Historically, they were a block of swing voters. However, in the Trump era, women can’t be characterized as undecided voters anymore. They’ve decided — and they don’t like Trump. According to polling from The New York Times, men are actually now more likely to be undecided.

Democrats are clearly rolling out their mobilize-the-base content for the first hour and focusing on issues. We’ll see if they go for a broader appeal in hour two, when more people will be watching.

Democrats are doing a good job of trying to activate gender identity among women — an ironically dormant force in Clinton’s 2008 and 2016 presidential runs.
