US couples: did you vote for a different candidate than your partner in the 2024 election?

All signs point to a gender gap playing a pivotal role in the 2024 election. Men are overwhelmingly supporting Trump, while women are overwhelmingly voting for Harris, according to multiple polls. This dynamic is playing out in relationships across the United States: wives and girlfriends voting against husband and boyfriends, partners “canceling out” each other’s ballots.

Sometimes, partisan couples are open about their voting choices. Other times, those votes are kept secret. In fact, in the week leading up to election day, the Harris campaign and its allies reminded women that their votes were private – if they wanted to break rank and vote for Democrats, their Republican husbands would never have to know.

Did you vote for a different candidate than your partner in the 2024 election? Did you discuss your vote with your partner?
