Why Republican Women Don't Run for Office and Why It Matters for the Gender Gap in Voting

The Science of Politics - A podcast by Niskanen Center - Wednesdays

Democratic women make up three times the share of their congressional caucus as Republican women. Matt Grossmann talks to Danielle Thomsen about her new research on how the donor networks in each party help produce this divide. He also talks to Heather Ondercin about her new research showing that the gap among officeholders may be producing the big gender gap among voters, with women increasingly seeing the Democrats as their party and men exiting the party for the same reason.
