On The Issues With Michele Goodwin Fifteen Minutes of Feminism: White Men Are Leaving Trump to Vote for Harris (with Jackson Katz)
In this episode, we dive into a topic that’s more relevant than ever this election season: masculinity. White men are mobilizing to support Kamala Harris and we unpack why. Polls are showing a growing gender gap, this election season—with women favoring Harris, while men favor Trump—but is the polling accurate? If so, what can we learn from this? How have the election’s gender politics changed, in the wake of Vice President Kamala Harris running for president? How does Trump continue to influence American masculinities years after leaving political office—and how will masculinity influence the outcome of the 2024 presidential election?
Helping us to sort out these questions and set the record straight is our very special guest,
