“Woman to woman,” reads the Post-it note, which is stuck on the back of a public toilet door at the Minnesota State Fair, “your vote is private. Abortion is healthcare. Harris and Walz 2024”.

Harris, whose path to victory looks increasingly narrow, is seeking to build what The New York Times calls “a permission structure” for Republican women to vote Democrat, just this once.
