What Went Down During The Vice Presidential Debate

Yeah, Chris, I’m very curious to see tomorrow whether this moves Harris’s or Pence’s favorability ratings — her net favorability is better than his, but both have a reasonable chunk of people who don’t yet have an opinion.

It’s also possible, while we’re talking about gender, that the fact that we just had a ton of Democratic primary debates full of women may have had an impact. What might have felt like “aggressive” behavior in the past could increasingly be interpreted as women acting like … debaters.

Yeah Clare, I mean I think Harris’s job has been largely to excite the base. So your observation still tracks, of course.
