What's the intersection of Americans who won't vote for a woman presidential candidate and Americans who support MAGA? I imagine it's fairly high.

That said, I don't believe there's a single factor that determined the election. A flip in any of a dozen or more factors could have resulted in a different outcome.

I’m sure it’s only a small percentage of voters who would have voted for a male Democrat. But that’s all it would take to flip that election.

Our elections have been so close that there are numerous single factors determining the outcomes, if that makes sense.

Not sure if that's specifically directed at me, but that's exactly what I said.
