◇Anchor> We continue to talk about the seven states competing for the U.S. presidential election, but it seems that the seven states are losing their meaning of traditional strong regions recently.

◆ Cha Doo-hyun > That's right. In the past, Rust Belt was said to be a Democratic advantage area, but this was also won by former President Trump intensively targeting Rust Belt in the 2016 election. In the case of the Sun Belt, it was traditionally said to be a strong Republican area in the past, but we can't guarantee this place now either.

◇Anchor> You said that the traditional strong area is changing, but in a way, it seems that the traditionally supported tendencies such as black men and young women are gradually changing.

◆ Cha Doo-hyun > That's right. What should be seen as a change now is that black people have generally supported the Democratic Party a lot. That's why he said he might be a supporter of Vice President Harris, but surprisingly, black men have higher approval ratings when they poll President Trump.

◇ Anchor> Why is that?

◆ Cha Doo-hyun> I think there is also a traditional culture that black men have now. So about the role of women...

◇Anchor> Because there has never been a female president in the United States.

◆ Cha Doo-hyun> Yes, and it seems that there is still a passive attitude toward the emergence of female presidents in the United States, and women are not all supporters of Vice President Harris. In the case of white women, support for President Trump is rather strong, but the problem is that white women used to vote according to their husbands' wishes. That's why the campaign itself is now talking about self-voting by white women.

◇Anchor> Let's film Harris without her husband's knowledge, Julia Roberts' advertisement became a hot topic.

◆ Cha Doo-hyun> This table can also work in a large part.
