4 election takeaways — from Democrat and Republican strategists
NPR4 election takeaways — from Democrat and Republican strategists toggle caption Giorgio Viera/Getty Images In the days leading up to election night, news outlets across the country, including NPR, were predicting a historically close race — one that could take days to call. All Things Considered hosts Juana Summers and Mary Louise Kelly unpack this with two veteran political strategists, Democrat Anna Greenberg and Republican Sarah Longwell, hitting four big themes. Anna Greenberg: First of all, I think that, like many people, myself included, we got a little bit ahead of our skis in the early vote, where you saw actually a pretty significant gap in turnout between men and women, suggesting that there would be an even bigger gender gap than there normally is in turnout. But I think when you are a party that represents a diverse coalition — racially and regionally, in terms of education level — the notion that you can sort of turn on a dime and say, “Well, I'm just going to talk about things that men care about, and hopefully I'll win an election,” isn't really how it works.
