Hello, im christian fraser. Youre watching the context on bbc news. The Gender Gap widens in the us election well take a look at what that might mean for the campaigns. We are hearing from the united states that Dick Cheney, former Vice President , now 83 years old, has said he will be following his Daughter And Voting for Kamala Harris at the election. The republican former Vice President following his daughter, who course did say this week, Liz Cheney, she would vote for Kamala Harris. We will maybe talk about what that might mean for the democratic campaign. But now the opposite side of the age scale. Every four years in a us election, political analysts like us Start Splitting up the electorate into different subgroups, who might this time be the difference. Suburban mothers in michigan. Retired folks in arizona. Latinos in nevada. Black voters in georgia. And so on and so on. But one of the things that really stands out in this election, is the Gender Gap. It is there in all the Swing States and across all the different racial groups. And it is most prominent among young voters. Polling from the New York Times shows that 53 of young men favoured Donald Trump in some key Swing States. While 67 of young women now said they planned to support the Vice President. And it is no Coincidence Donald Trump is now aggressively courting men in that 18 to 29 year old age group. Great to have your in Air Force one, a special plane. He has made friends with the nelk boys, he appears at the ultimate fighting championship, he has been interviewed Byjake And Logan paul. In fact it has become a deliberate Campaign Strategy to appear alongside these key male influencers. Then we had a terrible result in an election and what happened was disgraceful and we cant ever let that happen again. But, you know it, we have a little expression, its right on that had, make america great again. And we can do that make america great again. Stephanie, some voters voting for the first time, political correctness, a two tierjustice system, the Assassination Attempt and he responded to it. Not to see actually why young men, especially young white men, especially young white men, might see something attractive in Donald Trump. Yes, i can see why he is trying to court them but i think the numbers shown that if women turn out to vote in the ways they have in the last couple of elections because of the Reproductive Rights that are on the ballot, they will be able to eclipse the male vote. Based on a 2020 celsius, there were more registered Women Voters than males by around 10 million. Study sure women registered vote in a greater percentage than males. This Gender Gap exists and the advantage it as far as in the numbers as with the woman. I think also the Gender Gap, Jens E is significant, young women have said they will vote for harris by a significant amount of numbers. If you look back to 2022, a midterm election, we saw this Voting Bloc really flexed their muscles in the midterms, turning out in historic numbers, really motivated by Reproductive Rights. What the Trump Campaign has been doing has further energised this group because they continue to talk about women, the narrowly prescribed role women should play in society whether around Reproductive Rights or responsibilities to reproduce, care for children when young, when they are postmenopausal, care for the grandchildren. Women do not see themselves so narrowly defined in the society and are rejecting the notion that two men can limit the potential in any way. I think unwittingly they are energising the female vote as much as they are courting the male vote. It was the New York Times that first of the story, interviewed with young men at some of the Trump Row that talked about the concerns they had, grocery prices, the border, housing costs, they also said they felt like they were being cast as villains when all they were really trying to do was provide for theirfamilies. Really trying to do was provide fortheirfamilies. Is really trying to do was provide for theirfamilies. Is there for their families. Is there something for theirfamilies. Is there something in the way that progressives talk to white men that makes them feel they are not part of the group, makes them not want to vote for the democratic party . Couldl start again . Could you Couldl Start again . Could you start Couldl Start again . Could you start again . At Couldl Start again . Could you start again . You start again . At trump rallies young you start again . At trump rallies young white you start again . At trump rallies young white men. You start again . At trump rallies young white men talked about grocery prices, the border, but they also perceived that they had been cast as villains and i am just inquiring whether there is Something Way progressives have dressed as particular group, subset that means they dont want to support the democratic party. I want to support the democratic a. ~ want to support the democratic. A ~ , party. I think there is something party. I think there is something in party. I think there is something in that, i party. I think there is something in that, really do. Essentially, it comes down to the whole thing against the Anti Woke and people can say what Anti Woke and people can say what they really think because everyone is being sensitive now everyone is being sensitive now. Dont think that is necessarily right but i think theres necessarily right but i think Theres Something about a politically correct culture that politically correct culture that young men in particular, especially young white men, sort especially young white men, sort of especially young white men, sort of feel now they are picked sort of feel now they are picked upon, something they want picked upon, something they want to picked upon, something they want to fight against. Essentially, it doesnt surprise me at all that Donald Trump surprise me at all that Donald Trump is surprise me at all that Donald Trump is winning in this demographic. The Big Question is how demographic. The Big Question is how many of them will actually is how many of them will actually vote. Actually vote. That is the thin. Actually vote. That is the thing because actually vote. That is the thing because there actually vote. That is the thing because there is i actually vote. That is the thing because there is evidence that they deserted him in 2020. The thing is, stephanie, to put this back on the democrats, they have chosen a Running Mate who has always been about men, a veteran, a teacher, very relaxed i would think around that particular subset. Do you think it is incumbent on Kamala Harris to go out and speak to some of these same groups on some of these same groups on some of these same groups on some of these same platforms, to try and reach some of these young men . Talking about pennsylvania, they could be the difference. It pennsylvania, they could be the difference difference. It is incumbent u on difference. It is incumbent upon any difference. It is incumbent upon any campaign difference. It is incumbent upon any campaign to difference. It is incumbent. Upon any campaign to reach difference. It is incumbent upon any campaign to reach out to as many people through the channels that they consume the media in order to connect with them. I do think in him, tim walz, knows how to change a tire, can walk into a football locker room, talk to those folks, they have done the campaign like a Friday Night football event. She can talk to this group but he can also be the kind of father who is sensitive and emotional when he talks about the challenges that he and his family had in having children and how proud she is of the children including his son who has developmental challenges. That relates to so many people across this Country Irrespective of how masculine they think they are. Those are just very normal emotions and sort of experience is that the american people have. And these two candidates have that kind of middle class experience, middle Class Perspective that resonates with so much of america. Resonates with so much of america resonates with so much of america... america. Interesting. Good iece america. Interesting. Good iece in america. Interesting. Good piece in the america. Interesting. Good piece in the new america. Interesting. Good piece in the New York america. Interesting. Goodl piece in the New York Times america. Interesting. Good i piece in the New York Times if you want to read it, certainly looks to be deliberately strategy for the Trump Campaign. Us Defence Secretary Lloyd austin says theres no One Capability that will turn the war in ukraine in kyiv s favour. His comment came after president zelensky renewed his appeal to ukraines military backers during a meeting at Americas Ramstein Air base in germany to authorise the use of long range missiles to attack targets inside russia. Mr zelensky said this was the only way to bring about an end of the war. The us today announced a new 250 Million Dollar Package of military aid, while the uk said it would provide kyiv with 650 new lightweight missiles. Putin wants more of ukraine to occupy. Then he won security from russia. Then he wants security for russia. He doesnt care about russian land and people, he just wants to grab as much of our land and as many of our cities as possible. The number of Air Defence systems that have not yet been delivered is significant. This is what was agreed upon and this is what has not been fully implemented. We want enough Air Defences to make sure that russian terror does not have a result. The british Prime Minister is travelling to washington next week to meetjoe biden. Presumably they will discuss this. Kim, justgiving ukraine enough not to lose . The targets they have identified, 84 of them are in the near Border Area across russia. Is it time we reconsidered the strategy we are employing here . I we reconsidered the strategy we are employing here . Are employing here . I think we are employing here . I think we are kind of are employing here . I think we are kind of walked are employing here . I think we are kind of walked into are employing here . I think we are kind of walked into the are kind of walked into the strategy at the moment. The line you strategy at the moment. The line you used used, we are giving line you used used, we are giving ukraine enough not to lose giving ukraine enough not to lose ilut giving ukraine enough not to lose but not to win is exactly right lose but not to win is exactly right. Just lose but not to win is exactly right. Just because it is a Small right. Just because it is a Small country with a Smaller army. Small country with a Smaller army, there are real Resource Problems army, there are real Resource Problems. I am army, there are real Resource Problems. Lam not army, there are real Resource Problems. I am not sure even if you give problems. I am not sure even if you give zelensky all the stuff he is you give zelensky all the stuff he is asking for that would be enough he is asking for that would be enough to turn the tide of the war substantially in his favoun war substantially in his favour. Apart from anything else favour. Apart from anything else you favour. Apart from anything else you need to be able to coordinate air, Land And Sea forces coordinate air, Land And Sea forces. And you need to use these forces. And you need to use these weapons for maximum capabilities. It looks to me im afraid like a War Of Attrition im afraid like a War Of Attrition apart from some dramatic change in policy from the western backers of Ukraine Or Something dramatic from the kremlin, or something dramatic from the kremlin, this can drag on and on weit kremlin, this can drag on and on well into next year and potentially well beyond. It is a War Potentially well beyond. It is a War Of potentially well beyond. It is a War Of Attrition now and the ukrainians a War Of Attrition now and the ukrainians dont have the power to win ukrainians dont have the power to win it ukrainians dont have the power to win it but equally the russians are making a few yards of day russians are making a few yards of day in russians are making a few yards of day in the donbas and losing 1200 of day in the donbas and losing 1200 a of day in the donbas and losing 1200 a day killed or wounded, that is 1200 a day killed or wounded, that is extraordinary. That is extraordinary. Clearly, stephanie. That is extraordinary. Clearly, stephanie, they that is extraordinary. Clearly, stephanie, they are that is extraordinary. Clearly, stephanie, they are Banking L that is extraordinary. Clearly, i stephanie, they are banking on Donald Trump coming back to the White House, the russians. What happens if it is Kamala Harris that wins the election but she does not have full control of congress and loses the house . What then for how ukraine is supported . I what then for how ukraine is summed . Supported . I worked at the department supported . I worked at the department of supported . I worked at the Department Of Defence supported . I worked at the I Department of defence during the early 2002 when we had wars going on, any Military Conflict i understand is fort not only on a battlefield but in a political arena and so i definitely think that Vladimir Putin is trying to wait this out to see what happens in this election. Should Kamala Harris win with a divided government i think she can cobble together the votes necessary to move forward additional support for ukraine. We have seen in the past the american support for ukraine has been approved on a bipartisan basis. But what it requires us to leadership in the White House. I am certain that she did Beer Trump White House that leadership will exist to continue to support Ukraine And Putin understand that cool. Ukraine And Putin understand that cool Ukraine And Putin understand that cool. ~. that cool. You will know better than anyone. That cool. You will know better than anyone, that that cool. You will know better than anyone, that is than anyone, that is interesting to hear. We will take a break. Whites take that and talk the other side, this is bbc news. I told you a short time ago we had news from the states that former Vice President Dick Cheney will be voting for the democratic nominee Kamala Harris, Liz Cheney said she would be doing the same early in the week here is the video.
