What Went Down During The Vice Presidential Debate

Clare, four years into the Trump presidency, it looks like college-educated white women might not be so swingy anymore. They’ve decided, and they don’t like Trump. According to some polling earlier in the year, it actually looks like men are more likely to be undecided in the election.

Also Clare, to your observations on tone, Pence certainly isn’t generating as much heat on Twitter as Harris, and conversation about Harris remains more positive. If only we had a pre/post poll to tell us how people evaluate their performances.

Yeah, Clare, I am interested in this, too. I think you’re right that men and women are reading their demeanor in unique ways, but partisanship matters, too. Aggressive women are judged more harshly by people of the opposing party, according to academic studies.
