As we celebrate Thanksgiving in these times of turmoil and struggle, the Center for American Women and Politics would like to give thanks for our supporters who sustain us, the women public officials and candidates that inspire us, and our speakers and partners who contribute so much to this work. It has been another historic year for women and politics, and we celebrate the election of the first woman, and woman of color, to the vice presidency of the United States, as well as the record number of women who will serve in Congress. It has also been a banner year for CAWP. We launched new resources, produced all the key data about women in the 2020 election, shaped the national discussion about women in politics, and continued to hold events that prepare women for candidacy and illuminate the past, present, and future of women's role in American politics. For that, I am enduringly grateful to the staff of the Center for American Women and Politics, whose hard work, creativity, and persistence in the face of enormous hardship has made all the success of this year possible. Chelsea, Christabel, Claire, Colleen, Daniel, Jean, Kelly, Kira, Linda, Pooja, Sue C., and Sue N. - I give thanks for all of you.

CAWP has produced an initial analysis of women voters in the 2020 presidential election and find that Black women, Latinas, and college-educated white women played key roles in delivering the presidency to the Biden-Harris ticket. In contrast, non-college-educated white women and women who identify as evangelical continued to provide a loyal base of support for President Donald Trump. Data in the release demonstrate that there are multiple gender gaps that should be analyzed to fully understand the differential role of women and men in presidential election outcomes. Women across many demographic subgroups - including those highlighted in the analysis - were more likely than their male counterparts to support the Biden-Harris ticket, but women within specific groups have contributed more or less to Democratic candidates' advantage with women overall, both historically and in 2020.
