Vance, an Ohio senator, has faced criticism for his views on family and abortion. In contrast, Walz, a Minnesota governor, shares personal stories of fertility struggles and supports progressive ideas.
The debate reflects a broader gender divide in the US election. Trump’s “macho man” stance resonates with young men, while Harris banks on mobilizing women, who vote in greater numbers.
