Women are significantly outpacing men in early voting for the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election, providing a boost to Democratic hopes. Reports indicate that women account for roughly 55% of the early vote, compared to 45% for men, with a notable 10-point gender gap in battleground states such as Pennsylvania and Michigan. This high female turnout is seen as crucial for Kamala Harris's campaign, as Democrats view female voters as key to securing a victory. With 60 million votes already cast, women make up 54% of ballots nationwide. The surge in early voting from women and older voters points to a tight race, prompting both Harris and Trump to push for last-minute support in critical states.
