In this last week before Election Day, several ads have appeared showing the same scenario: a woman heads to the polls, encouraged by her husband. He thinks she’ll vote for Donald Trump, like him, but she privately casts a ballot for Vice-President Kamala Harris. The message? No one has to know who you vote for. In an election where the gender divide among voters has never been starker, Democrats are hoping that women — even those who may see themselves as conservative or who have Republican partners — will help them clinch the White House. Women support Harris over Trump by 16 points, according to the most recent New York Times-Siena poll, while Trump has a 14-point lead over Harris with men. Those women who are in politically divided marriages aren’t necessarily hiding their support for Harris from their husbands, however. We spoke with four women who plan to vote for the Democrat about how their partners gravitated to Trump, how the couples navigate their opposing political views, and whether getting a divorce is on the table.
