"Trump has turned his campaign into a pitch for hyper-traditional masculinity. At this year’s Republican national convention, he walked on stage to the James Brown song It’s a Man’s Man’s Man’s World and was introduced by Dana White, the president of the Ultimate Fighting Championship who was caught slapping his wife on camera."

Carter Sherman looks at the Lincoln Project's new video featuring Sam Elliott saying, “It’s time to be a man and vote for a woman,” and concludes that "masculinity and people’s views on gender roles may be more important than ever in 2024."

‘Be a man and vote for a woman’: Kamala Harris’s unlikely edge in America’s masculinity election

Republicans are making anxiety around masculinity a key voting issue – but the Democratic nominee is hoping to turn it to her advantage

"The gender gap between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump could not be more vivid. In a new NBC poll, Harris is winning among women 58 percent to 37 percent, while Trump is leading Harris among men 52 percent to 40 percent."

"As it is, the two are clashing in an election marked by a gulf so wide, the phrase 'gender gap' doesn’t do it justice. In ways that go deeper than mere politics, and with implications for the world beyond the US, the presidential election is increasingly looking like a war between men and women."

"I hesitate to give JD Vance any ideas, but if American women were denied the vote, Donald Trump would be restored to the White House in a landslide. Similarly, if men were removed from the franchise, Kamala Harris would be swept into the Oval Office in an even bigger earthquake."

It’s not just Trump v Harris: America’s men and women are also locked in battle now

There are clear reasons why women are running from Trump, but men are flocking to him – and it’s vital to understand why, says Guardian columnist Jonathan Freedland

As numerous reliable commenators are noting, Trump-Vance are counting on the male vote to win the day for them in this election — and polling indicates that strategy may well be paying off as young men and more men in minority communities are flocking to Trump.

Misogyny is a powerful drug in contemporary culture and contemporary politics. And an incredibly stupefying one….

"Many of the summer fears of the Joe-can’t-go crowd have proven unfounded. But the fear that Democrats would miss Biden’s strength in neutralizing Trump’s pull on culturally conservative union members seems to have been on the money."

"One of the bigger gut checks for Kamala Harris since she took over the Democratic ticket came yesterday afternoon, when she failed to secure the endorsement of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, one of the country’s largest labor unions. The last time the Teamsters didn’t endorse the Democratic presidential candidate: 1996."

Suffering in the Service of Trump

The former president is fine with shutting down the government or delaying interest rate cuts so long as it helps his political chances.
