‘"I decided not to vote because I’m really into politics and I don’t really know much about each candidate to really give my formal vote to one or the other based on what I think."
3. Students on campus
4. SOUNDBITE (English) Vanessa Cruz, did not vote:
"If I had to do it over again, I definitely would have voted. In the beginning and I was definitely leaning more towards the Republican side, but now, just listening to how it would not only affect me or like my friends and my family, it definitely made me want to vote for Kamala more. (Reporter: "But you didn’t). I didn’t."

6. SOUNDBITE (English) Connor Goorsky, voted for Trump:
"I think like people saw that Donald Trump wanted what’s best for the American people. And I – and I was happy to see that he won. Myself, I just thought that he had like my own best interests in his mind and just for all the American people, too."

8. SOUNDBITE (English) Catherine Hutchinson, voted for Harris:
"I was really excited for maybe a future female president, but that didn’t end up working out. And I know that there were a lot of policies that I think I really supported Kamala on."
9. Students on campus
10. SOUNDBITE (English) Betsy Baker, voted for Trump:
"I was a little bit surprised, but not completely surprised. I think there’s been a pretty large shift in perspectives towards politics and towards the different parties over the last four years especially. I think people are kind of looking around, like I think the Republican Party was very smart with the strategy of are you better off now than you were four years ago?"

STORYLINE:
Donald Trump ran a campaign centered on hypermasculinity that aggressively courted men with a worldview critics considered paternalistic and outdated.

He actively courted young men in particular with with interviews on popular male-centric podcasts. In the closing weeks of his campaign, the president and many of his surrogates leaned into sexist remarks and jokes about Vice President Kamala Harris.

In the end, gender voting gap was unremarkable by recent historical standards.

On the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee campus Wednesday, students had mixed reactions to election results.

UW Milwaukee student Vanessa Cruz says she regrets not voting. "If I had to do it over again, I definitely would have voted. In the beginning and I was definitely leaning more towards the Republican side, but now, just listening to how it would not only affect me or like my friends and my family, it definitely made me want to vote for Kamala more," she says.
