John Bickley和Georgia Howe：就2024年美国总统大选，特朗普和哈里斯在经济、移民和社会议题上的立场进行探讨，并邀请Batia Ungar Sargon分析其背后的阶级和性别因素。
Batia Ungar Sargon：认为媒体对特朗普的负面报道是老调重弹，民主党最初试图将哈里斯塑造成一个全新的形象，以摆脱"特朗普是希特勒"的论调，但失败后又回到了这一策略。她认为将特朗普与希特勒进行比较是对历史的亵渎，也降低了希特勒罪行的严重性。她分析了性别差距实际上反映的是阶级差距，哈里斯吸引的是受过高等教育的女性，而特朗普吸引的是男性工人阶级。她详细比较了特朗普和哈里斯在经济政策、移民政策和能源政策上的差异，认为特朗普的政策更倾向于工人阶级，而哈里斯的政策则存在一些缺陷。她还指出，哈里斯在堕胎问题上的立场，虽然与美国民众的普遍观点有所不同，但却成功地动员了精英阶层女性的选票。最后，她总结说，特朗普在许多重要议题上的立场都更符合美国民众的普遍观点，这才是对民主党构成真正威胁的原因。
