A Lot Has Changed for Women Since 2016. What Does That Mean for Kamala Harris?

Voters eager to elect the first female president pointed to anger over a loss of abortion rights, but also acknowledged a fear that sexism would remain difficult for Ms. Harris to overcome.

By Patricia Mazzei ,  Jenna Russell ,  Richard Fausset and Christina Morales

Patricia Mazzei reported from Miami, Jenna Russell from Boston, Richard Fausset from Atlanta and Christina Morales from New York.

In the eight years since Hillary Clinton failed to win the American presidency, the work force for the first time grew to include more college-educated women than college-educated men. The #MeToo movement exposed sexual harassment and toppled powerful men. The Supreme Court overturned the federal right to abortion.

Will any — or all — of it make a difference for Vice President Kamala Harris?

Ms. Harris seems almost certain to become the Democratic Party’s presidential nominee after President Biden’s decision not to seek re-election . As such, she faces, fairly or not, some of the same electability questions that Mrs. Clinton confronted in a nation that, unlike many of its peers around the globe, has yet to pick a woman as its leader.

A presidential contest pitting Ms. Harris against former President Donald J. Trump would represent a rematch of sorts: Mr. Trump would again have to run against a woman who held a top administration position and served in the Senate. He defeated Mrs. Clinton in 2016 in spite of her winning the popular vote by a wide margin.

But the dynamics would be unquestionably different. Ms. Harris has neither the political legacy nor the baggage of Mrs. Clinton. Mr. Trump, having served a turbulent term in office, is now a known quantity. Ms. Harris is Black and of South Asian descent.

And the country is not the same as it was eight long years ago.

“Women are angrier, and that could be motivating,” said Karen Crowley, 64, an independent voter and retired nurse in Concord, N.H., who would not vote for Mr. Trump, did not feel like she could support Mr. Biden and now planned to back Ms. Harris.

Among the motivations Ms. Crowley cited were the demise of Roe v. Wade and comments and actions by Mr. Trump that many women see as sexist and misogynistic. “A woman president might be more possible now,” she said.

But for female voters and activists eager to break that elusive glass ceiling, there was also fear that sexism would remain difficult for Ms. Harris to overcome.

“It’s a patriarchy out there,” Ms. Crowley said. “She’s smart and she’s a prosecutor, but there are a lot of old white men who will want to stop her. The only thing wrong with her is that she’s a woman.”

Discussing the gender of a politician can feel reductive and regressive, especially when it does not seem as relevant in other countries. The United Kingdom has had three female prime ministers . Mexico elected its first female president this year.

Yet when a woman runs for office in the United States, many voters still mention her gender unprompted in interviews, identifying it as a concern — often not for themselves, they say, but for the wider electorate.

Julia Blake, 80, of La Jolla, Calif., said she had spent a lot of time arguing with her book club friends about whether a woman could be elected president. One after the next — professional women, with doctorates and master’s degrees — they said they thought the answer was no. Ms. Blake was indignant with them.

“I said, ‘If women think a woman can’t win, and they repeat that year after year, we will never get a female president,’” said Ms. Blake, who supported Senator Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota and also donated to Ms. Harris during the Democratic primary in 2020. “I don’t think they’re giving women enough credit.”

To be sure, party affiliation, not gender, remains most important for many voters. “I would not vote for her,” said Naomi Villalba, 74, a Republican from Dallas who supports Mr. Trump but thinks Ms. Harris a better choice for Democrats than Mr. Biden.

Mr. Biden won 55 percent of the female vote in 2020, compared with Mrs. Clinton’s 54 percent in 2016, according to the Pew Research Center. Mr. Trump’s support among women grew slightly to 44 percent in 2020, up from 39 percent in 2016.

The prospect of having Ms. Harris atop the Democratic ticket energized some voters looking to elect a female president. But it also resurfaced old fears about the fact that Mr. Trump had lost to a man (Mr. Biden) but defeated a woman (Mrs. Clinton).

If ultimately not successful, Mrs. Clinton’s candidacy did change the idea of what was possible, said Christina Wolbrecht, a political scientist at the University of Notre Dame who studies women’s voting patterns. Ms. Klobuchar and Senators Kirsten Gillibrand of New York and Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts were taken seriously as candidates during the 2020 election, as was Nikki Haley, the former governor of South Carolina who challenged Mr. Trump this year.

“That suggests to me that post-Hillary Clinton, people are increasingly comfortable with the idea of a woman president,” Dr. Wolbrecht said.

Forty-two percent of women felt it was at least somewhat important to elect a woman as president in their lifetime, according to a Pew Research Center report last year. In the poll, 39 percent of respondents, both male and female, said a female president would be better at working out compromises and 37 percent said a woman would be better at maintaining a respectful tone in politics. (More than half said that gender did not matter on those measures.)

Ms. Harris appears to have a special bond with Black women in particular, who comprise a key part of the Democratic base and have been especially enthusiastic in their past support for her.

Laurie Nsiah-Jefferson, director for the Center for Women in Politics and Public Policy at the University of Massachusetts Boston, said that much had changed for women since 2016. Concerns over Mr. Trump’s positions on issues like abortion transformed from remote possibility to concrete reality after he took office, she said.

“When he was elected, we were disappointed, we were upset — there were marches, demonstrations, all kinds of things — and we had a good idea what was going to happen,” Dr. Nsiah-Jefferson said. “But now we know what happened.”

Mr. Trump has already signaled that he considers his gender worth highlighting: At one point during the Republican National Convention last week, he walked out to “It’s a Man’s Man’s Man’s World,” by James Brown.

But Dr. Nsiah-Jefferson thinks that Ms. Harris will also lean in to the fact that she is a woman. “She’s going to talk about the way in which politics and policy impacts on women,” she said.

Some voters would like to lose the gender talk altogether.

“We have to take the emphasis off the gender identification stuff and put it on the person themselves and their own abilities,” said Marilyn McDole of Oregon, Wis., who attended a weekend re-election rally in Stoughton, Wis., for Senator Tammy Baldwin. “Because that’s so stigmatizing and damaging to women. That’s not fair.”

Ms. Harris, Ms. McDole added, has “got experience up the wazoo.”

Several Democratic voters, however, said that a female nominee would help amplify perhaps the party’s strongest issue: abortion access.

Katy Sorenson, 69, a former commissioner in Miami-Dade County, Fla., said the overturning of Roe had been a “galvanizing phenomenon.” “It’s not just abortion; it’s problem pregnancies that have so many women concerned about what they’re going to do, and can they get the health care they need,” she said.

In Raleigh, N.C., Mary Lucas, 36, said that Ms. Harris gave her new motivation to campaign. “My immediate reaction is, ‘How do I get involved?’” Ms. Lucas said.

Women also pointed to societal shifts that might make Ms. Harris’s run different. Dr. Liz Bradt, 64, a retired veterinarian and the chairwoman of the Salem Democratic City Committee in Salem, Mass., said younger people seemed less likely to make judgments based on rigid definitions of male and female.

“Where my generation is like, ‘Male or female, where’s the check box?’ I think the younger generation is more accepting of different genders,” Dr. Bradt said. “That will make a difference.”

Still, Dr. Bradt, who campaigned for Mrs. Clinton in New Hampshire, expects a tough road ahead for Ms. Harris. “It’s going to be hard to see what she has to go through,” she said. “I fear for her, like I feared for Hillary.”

Though Mrs. Clinton won the most votes in 2016, some voters said they found her off-putting. Among them was Dr. Maria E. Laurencio, 73, a retired anesthesiologist in Coral Gables, Fla., who was a lifelong Republican until she pinched her nose and voted for Mrs. Clinton.

“Women were not sympathetic to Hillary because a lot of them said she stood by the president,” Dr. Laurencio said about former President Bill Clinton’s extramarital affairs. “Hillary tended to be a little arrogant and not so likable, even though she was so prepared.”

In 2020, Dr. Laurencio changed her registration to vote for Mr. Biden. Now, she intends to support Ms. Harris. “For me, anything that prevents Mr. Trump from getting to the presidency again, I will go along with,” she said.

And more women are now veterans of political campaigns.

Luisa Wakeman, 57, a flight attendant in suburban Cobb County, Ga., said women like her were relatively new to politics when they campaigned against Mr. Trump in 2016. Now, their informal and largely female-led networks in the area have matured into durable, battle-tested electoral machines.

“I think like many people, I’m feeling invigorated,” she said.

And she said she was impressed by Ms. Harris’s qualifications. “It’s not just because she’s a woman,” she said, “but I’m excited that she will make history.”

Violence breaks out among England fans in Berlin and UK after Euro defeat

Violence was seen breaking out among England fans in the stands of Berlin ’s Olympiastadion as well as in the streets of the UK following their team’s defeat in the Euro 2024 final.

Images and footage show supporters clashing inside the German stadium as well as back home in London and other British cities after the Three Lions fell at the final hurdle once more , with Spain winning the tightly contested tournament.

The Metropolitan Police said there were six football-related arrests made in the capital on Sunday, including for alleged assault, alleged homophobic abuse, and alleged drug offences. The UK Football Policing Unit (UKFPU) said four England fans were arrested on Sunday night, while many people tried to enter the stadium without a ticket.

A total of 77 England supporters were arrested in Germany during Euro 2024, according to the UKFPU, with 13 notices for Football Banning Orders served by UK courts. The body said there were “numerous” cases of England fans attempting to enter stadiums without a ticket throughout the tournament, as well as a number of instances of fans, family members and officials being soaked by alcohol during matches.

A former Manchester City director said some England fans had started brawling in the stadium in the first half of the match on Sunday before a goal had even been scored.

Chris Bird said on X: “England fans fighting each other in the first half once again showing there is a section of support who don’t deserve finals or these players. Disgusting experience, I will never watch England away ever again.”

In one video posted to the social media platform, crowds of England fans appear to be kicking and punching each other to the ground in London. Disorder was also seen erupting in Hertford and Oxford in other clips that have been shared online.

Calling for action to be taken to end the disorder that can often accompany the English game, Mr Bird also said: “There’s a darker side that continues to grow, and it’s heartbreaking. A minority have turned our beloved game into a battleground of hate and violence, fuelled by alcohol and drugs. I witnessed last night fans fighting each other, for what reason - postcodes, club allegiances, senseless divides, a disagreement? It was appalling.”

Tens of thousands of England supporters were in Berlin for the game on Sunday evening, having paid thousands of pounds, travelling by air, road and rail to Germany. Meanwhile, back at home the nation’s pubs, bars and fan zones were mobbed many hours before the 8pm kick-off.

Among measures implemented in Berlin to prevent potential disorder, England fans were only able to purchase low-alcohol pints when Gareth Southgate’s side took on Serbia in their Group C opener at the Veltins-Arena in the German city on 16 June.

The clashes on Sunday come after the violence seen at the previous Euro final against Italy, held in 2021 . Wembley Stadium had to be briefly locked down after hordes of ticketless fans breached sections of the stadium and stormed the concourse, sparking some of the worst scenes of rioting seen in the English game for decades.

Prior to Sunday’s match, a spokesman for Police Berlin issued a stark warning to England supporters, telling Telegraph Sport: “Entering the stadium without a valid ticket is a criminal offence and will be prosecuted consistently.”

The UK’s most senior football police officer, Cheshire Police’s chief constable Mark Roberts, also vowed to pursue banning orders for anyone involved in disorder while following England.

Of the estimated around 240,000 visitor trips to Germany from the UK for the tournament, the UKFPU said that “the vast majority behaved well and represented the country in a positive light”.

Mick Johnson, director of the UKFPU, said: “As with any event of this kind there were instances of disorder, and these were swiftly dealt with by the German police with the support of UK officers. There has also been positive action from the CPS and the courts when fans involved in disorder have returned to the UK.”

Mr Johnson added: “We are seeing more instances of people trying to gain entry to matches without tickets, and also an increase in the use of drugs in recent years. These are areas we are looking at more closely to try and prevent them continuing to happen in future.

“The issue we have seen with alcohol and containers being thrown reiterates our stance that drinking in the stands shouldn’t be allowed at matches in the UK. Currently, fans can enjoy a drink before the game and, if they wish, at half-time in the concourse, which is a sensible balance for everyone.

“The overall good behaviour of fans abroad has also been reflected at home. As expected, we did have a busy night across the country for the final, but on the whole we have seen a reduction in the number of football-related incidents across the UK in comparison to the last few international tournaments.”

The UKFPU said two of the arrests made at the final in Berlin on Sunday were for England fans trying to enter the stadium with fake accreditation, while one was for assault, and one was for letting off a smoke bomb.

The Met said it is not aware of any other incidents happening in London during the tournament, beyond the arrests made on Sunday. The force said two of the people were arrested on suspicion of theft after they allegedly targeted fans watching the football. One person was arrested for a public order offence where homophobic abuse was allegedly used, as well as being drunk and disorderly. Another person was arrested on suspicion of breaching a Public Space Protection Order and assault. One person was arrested on suspicion of being in possession of class A drugs, and another person was arrested on suspicion of ABH-level assault.

The Met said: “The policing operation for the European Championship Final was a success and the day’s events passed off largely without incident.”
