177: Friday Short: It&#39;s Easy To Understand Why Women Back Harris
</h5>
<div class="text-line-clamp text-line-clamp-3 balanced-p fs-8 text-muted text-break">
Here&#39;s the Left of Lansing &quot;Friday Short&quot; for September 27, 2024.

A new NBC Poll shows Vice President Kamala Harris enjoying a whopping 21% lead over Dear Leader Trump with women.

Why?

Because women aren&#39;t backing the weird and warped Christian Nationalist philosophy that believes men are the bosses of women.
