In the weeks and months leading up to Tuesday’s election, much has been made of the growing gender gap between men and women. Except, now that we have the election results, it appears that the gender gap actually shrunk.

In 2020, President Joe Biden won women by a 15-point margin, 57% to 42%. This year, Vice President Kamala Harris won women by a much smaller 8-point, 53% to 45% margin.
