The dynamic contrast between President TRUMP's relentless scowling and Vice President HARRIS's boisterous laugh encapsulates a deeper cultural conflict over women's joy and freedom, amidst movements like #MeToo and abortion rights. TRUMP's campaign, tailored to embittered male voters, embodies resentment towards shifting gender dynamics, while HARRIS symbolizes women empowered to defy threats to their autonomy. HARRIS's appeal to women is reflected in polling, with her outperforming TRUMP among women. TRUMP's resort to sexist rhetoric against HARRIS underscores his desperation as she refuses to engage. HARRIS's aspirational message and policy focus on supporting young families present a stark contrast to TRUMP's regressive gender views.
