Trump’s victories over Kamala Harris and Hillary Clinton prompt questions about gender bias in US presidential elections. Experts suggest gender bias, class dynamics, and the Democratic Party’s struggle to win working-class men contribute to the lack of a female president. Some argue Harris’ loss was due to her gender, while others believe she was put in a losing position because of it.
