‘A slap in the face.’ For many US women, Harris loss to Trump feels personal.

Twice now, American voters have chosen Donald Trump over a woman for the presidency.

Women now hold record numbers of seats in Congress and governorships.

But when running for president, they challenge the notion of who can hold a powerful position, one largely associated with white men.

Trump ridiculed Ms. Harris , saying she would “melt down” if confronted by male authoritarian leaders.

Ms. Harris played down her candidacy as a woman the daughter of a Jamaican father and an Indian mother.

She stressed women’s rights, particularly reproductive rights, and warned that, if elected, he would sign a national abortion ban.

Mr. Trump has leaned heavily into masculinity, and successfully drove up his support among men.

In this election, the opportunity to elect the nation’s first female president was not a high motivator, a national survey of voters says.

Traditional gender roles, “a willingness to call the kettle black,” and lowering grocery store prices were the top issues for Susan Inveninato , a Trump voter.
