Where candidates spend the last few weeks of a presidential campaign says much about the nature of the race, and how it might be won or lost. Vice President Kamala Harris is spending her remaining campaign time courting women, who may be the key swing voters of 2024 in the same way that less educated white men were in 2016.
Harris is making an appeal to women voters that aims to reach across both sides of the aisle. For example, she held a series of moderated conversations last week with former Wyoming Republican representative Liz Cheney, aimed at appealing to suburban female voters in the key battleground states of Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin.
