Single best idea your busy election day. Let's keep it short and sweet. We love that single best idea four or five, six minutes. Dovetails into your other podcast like The Big Take on Bloomberg winning awards. I can't remember, I don't win awards. Girl wins awards? What's that about? The Big Take podcast? Twenty minutes of brilliance? And there are many others out there, But slip in single best
idea and tell your friends about it. We're gonna do it on election Day, and there's no question you have to lead with Wendy Schiller. What an honor to have her commitment to Bloomberg surveillance to smart. Political conversation from Brown University professor Schiller on twenty twenty four's gender.
Gap calling indicates that it's larger than it's been in the past. It ranges somewhere between seven and nine points that more women vote for the Democratic Party. That number is driven in large part by Black women, who turn out about seventy two percent of registered Black women vote, and they really push that gender gap for the Democrats. White women, particularly white women Protestant married, lean Republican. So it's a very interesting dynamic within that gender gap. You
really have to piece it out. So if it comes to pass that it's an eleven percent or a ten percent gender gap, that's a hard mountain for Donald Trump to climb. And what we're seeing is women over the age of sixty five at least so far, and some of the polling have indicated that they either have already voted for Kamala Harris or they support Kamala Harris in
bigger numbers visa v men. I'm also talking about that Iowa poll then in recent elections, and that also poses a difficulty for the Republicans because they usually win about six seven points margin on people over the age of six. So it's not just young women directly affected by availity of reproductive rights. It's older women having lived through a time when there was no road decision, abortion was completely illegal.
So I don't know what that dynamic will look like in the end, but it could be driving that gender gap larger than we've seen in previous elections.
Wendy Schuller from Brown University many other people we talked to, I really want to say thank you to David Gera out on the road from Wisconsin to Pennsylvania. And Romaine Bostick was just brilliant today from the Northwest Activity Center in Detroit. I think he's staying around for tomorrow there having senior exercise at eight am. Maybe Romain will slip in there as the youngest kid in the activity center. Romaine Bostick just great in Detroit. On an election, on
the undecided, on the uncertainty. We spoke to Gadamcunda of Yale School of Management.
Counterintuitively, the thing maybe we should learn is the campaign's campaigns are just too long. I think Harris got a real benefit being I mean, maybe this was too short for her, but the two year long election cycle that we've been doing for presidential campaigns, it drives everyone insane. It forces people to take positions that end up being completely indefensive.
So to be clear here, for Vice President Harris, she had an advantage because of the delay.
I won't say I think she would rather have had a normal cycle. And I have to give her credit for being able to perform this balancing act in the shortest kind of time. But if I were a normal candidate, I would rather do six months than two years.
Got him a Kunda yell. We'll have him in here in the coming days, and really all the voices of the last two or three days, thank you so much. Look out on Bloomberg Digital, our conversations yesterday with Ann Selzer of Iowa her she shifted, just simply shifted the debate this weekend where they're polling, and with Bob Woodward or the Washington Post.
