(NewsNation) — With the election just days away, women are showing up big at the polls, especially in swing states.
For instance, in Pennsylvania, 1,427,436 people have already cast their ballots, with data from TargetSmart showing 55.6% of these early voters are women and 43.2% are men. In Wisconsin, where 1,067,383 have voted early, 51.3% have been women, and 42.7% are men. Michigan has seen 2,187,896 early voters: 55.4% female and 44.5% male.
This gender gap seems to be driven by a combination of a lot of things, especially key issues like reproductive rights, health care access and education.
With this being the case, both candidates are intensifying their efforts to reach female voters.
Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign put out an ad voiced by actress Julia Roberts telling women they have the right to choose when it comes to their pick for president — even if their husbands disagree.
“In the one place in America where women still have a right to choose, you can vote any way you want. And no one will ever know,” Roberts says in the ad, NewsNation partner The Hill reports.
Both campaigns are hosting rallies, phone banking and going door-to-door. The Harris campaign, in particular, is focusing on suburban areas where female voter turnout could make a really significant difference. Campaign surrogates like Lara Trump, meanwhile, are making stops for the former president’s campaign.
