(Surgery is very rare for minors.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to a \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/73/su/su7304a9.htm?s_cid=su7304a9_w\">recent report\u003c/a> from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 3% of high school students describe themselves as transgender, although not all of them necessarily want medical interventions related to that identity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CDC found trans students “experienced a higher prevalence of violence, poor mental health, suicidal thoughts and behaviors, and unstable housing.” The report goes on to note that “having supportive families and peers, feeling connected to family and school, having affirmed name and pronouns used consistently by others, and having a sense of pride of identity are protective factors for transgender students that buffer the effects of minority stressors and promote better mental health.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trevor Project, which runs a 24/7 crisis line for LGBTQ youth and answers calls from the 988 crisis line for this population, recently \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/shots-health-news/2024/09/25/nx-s1-5127347/more-trans-teens-attempted-suicide-after-states-passed-anti-trans-laws-a-study-shows\">published an analysis\u003c/a> finding that transgender youth were more likely to attempt suicide after their home state passed a ban on gender affirming care for youth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The day after the election, there was a 700% increase in calls to the crisis line, which marked the largest surge in daily contact ever, the Trevor Project wrote to NPR in a statement. Even though the volume has done down since Nov 6, “volume remains higher than normal as LGBTQ+ young people continue to reach out, overwhelmingly, to discuss concerns about the 2024 election results,” the statement reads.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schweppe, of the American Principles Project, dismisses that data point, claiming research on suicide risk in this population is exaggerated. “We are diametrically opposed to what their goals are,” he says of the Trevor Project, whose work he described as indoctrination.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even if children may be suffering from gender dysphoria, he says, “we should be trying to help them identify with their with their biological sex, try to feel help them feel comfortable with their bodies, not tell them that their bodies are wrong, that the way God made them is wrong,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Importantly, the American Academy of Pediatrics notes in \u003ca href=\"https://publications.aap.org/pediatrics/article/142/4/e20182162/37381/Ensuring-Comprehensive-Care-and-Support-for?autologincheck=redirected\">a policy statement\u003c/a> that conversion or reparative therapies “have been proven to be not only unsuccessful but also deleterious and are considered outside the mainstream of traditional medical practice.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>The shifting legal landscape\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>On Dec. 4, before the next Trump presidential term begins in January, the Supreme Court will hear arguments on whether Tennessee’s ban on gender-affirming care for transgender youth is constitutional, and by extension, the bans in 25 other states.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sharp of the Alliance Defending Freedom says he hopes that the high court will decide on the substance of the case. “Ultimately, we hope that it will rule in favor of these state laws and allow them to go into effect,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Seldin of the ACLU, which represents the Tennessee transgender kids and families who brought the case, says it’s hard to predict what will happen after oral arguments, but that they’re prepared to “be flexible with what we need to do to meet the moment.” He says LGBTQ advocates are equally determined to keep fighting for the rights of transgender people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If the justices do hold that the bans are unconstitutional, conservative advocacy groups like the American Principles Project plan to “pursue other avenues to effectively shut down these gender clinics,” Schweppe says. That’s the overall goal, he adds. “I think we’ve been very transparent about that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He’s not worried about the difficulties of passing laws on transgender issues with narrow Republican majorities in the House and Senate. He points to \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2024/11/06/nyregion/democrats-house-ny.html\">several Democrats\u003c/a> who argued in recent weeks that support for transgender people cost the party electoral wins, and who might cross party lines to support a bill on women’s sports, for instance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The case that groups like ours are making to Republican leadership is that, not only is this the right thing to do and these are the right laws to pass, but they’re also of great political benefit,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\n",

(Surgery is very rare for minors.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to a \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/73/su/su7304a9.htm?s_cid=su7304a9_w\">recent report\u003c/a> from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 3% of high school students describe themselves as transgender, although not all of them necessarily want medical interventions related to that identity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CDC found trans students “experienced a higher prevalence of violence, poor mental health, suicidal thoughts and behaviors, and unstable housing.” The report goes on to note that “having supportive families and peers, feeling connected to family and school, having affirmed name and pronouns used consistently by others, and having a sense of pride of identity are protective factors for transgender students that buffer the effects of minority stressors and promote better mental health.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trevor Project, which runs a 24/7 crisis line for LGBTQ youth and answers calls from the 988 crisis line for this population, recently \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/shots-health-news/2024/09/25/nx-s1-5127347/more-trans-teens-attempted-suicide-after-states-passed-anti-trans-laws-a-study-shows\">published an analysis\u003c/a> finding that transgender youth were more likely to attempt suicide after their home state passed a ban on gender affirming care for youth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The day after the election, there was a 700% increase in calls to the crisis line, which marked the largest surge in daily contact ever, the Trevor Project wrote to NPR in a statement. Even though the volume has done down since Nov 6, “volume remains higher than normal as LGBTQ+ young people continue to reach out, overwhelmingly, to discuss concerns about the 2024 election results,” the statement reads.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schweppe, of the American Principles Project, dismisses that data point, claiming research on suicide risk in this population is exaggerated. “We are diametrically opposed to what their goals are,” he says of the Trevor Project, whose work he described as indoctrination.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even if children may be suffering from gender dysphoria, he says, “we should be trying to help them identify with their with their biological sex, try to feel help them feel comfortable with their bodies, not tell them that their bodies are wrong, that the way God made them is wrong,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Importantly, the American Academy of Pediatrics notes in \u003ca href=\"https://publications.aap.org/pediatrics/article/142/4/e20182162/37381/Ensuring-Comprehensive-Care-and-Support-for?autologincheck=redirected\">a policy statement\u003c/a> that conversion or reparative therapies “have been proven to be not only unsuccessful but also deleterious and are considered outside the mainstream of traditional medical practice.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>The shifting legal landscape\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>On Dec. 4, before the next Trump presidential term begins in January, the Supreme Court will hear arguments on whether Tennessee’s ban on gender-affirming care for transgender youth is constitutional, and by extension, the bans in 25 other states.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sharp of the Alliance Defending Freedom says he hopes that the high court will decide on the substance of the case. “Ultimately, we hope that it will rule in favor of these state laws and allow them to go into effect,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Seldin of the ACLU, which represents the Tennessee transgender kids and families who brought the case, says it’s hard to predict what will happen after oral arguments, but that they’re prepared to “be flexible with what we need to do to meet the moment.” He says LGBTQ advocates are equally determined to keep fighting for the rights of transgender people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If the justices do hold that the bans are unconstitutional, conservative advocacy groups like the American Principles Project plan to “pursue other avenues to effectively shut down these gender clinics,” Schweppe says. That’s the overall goal, he adds. “I think we’ve been very transparent about that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He’s not worried about the difficulties of passing laws on transgender issues with narrow Republican majorities in the House and Senate. He points to \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2024/11/06/nyregion/democrats-house-ny.html\">several Democrats\u003c/a> who argued in recent weeks that support for transgender people cost the party electoral wins, and who might cross party lines to support a bill on women’s sports, for instance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

But that didn’t happen. Trump, for example, won white suburban women by 7 points, as well as white suburban men — by 27. So there were some split kitchen tables, but not enough to help Harris win.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In multiple swing states, there were significant shifts in Trump’s direction in the suburbs, based on nearly final vote totals.

The previous best was 61% — set by Trump in 2016.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That helped him in all of the swing states but also in red states, like Texas, which boosted his total in the popular vote. He gained, for example, a net of more than 900,000 votes in Texas compared to 2020; and more than 1 million in Florida, a longtime competitive state that saw a dramatic swing in Trump’s direction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His improvement in those states also reflects the major shifts in his direction with Latino voters in South Florida and South Texas.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Harris also underperformed in urban areas\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>A lot of Democratic base voters live in big cities, and those urban areas are often key to a Democrat winning in the swing states.

For example, in Maricopa County, Arizona, home to Phoenix, Harris got roughly 61,000 fewer votes than Biden in 2020. Trump, on the other hand, gained about 56,000, for a 117,000-vote shift in just one county.\u003cbr>\n[aside label='Related Coverage' tag='election-2024']\u003cbr>\nIn Wayne County, Michigan (Detroit), Harris saw a decline of more than 60,000 votes, while Trump gained about 24,000.

The only certainty is political struggle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Depending on who wins the presidential election, \u003cem>and\u003c/em> control of the Senate, the current 6–to–3 conservative supermajority could remain the same, be trimmed to 5–to–4, or expand to an even larger and more lopsided conservative majority.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"From the 2024 Voter Guide\" link1='https://www.kqed.org/voterguide/president,Learn about the U.S. Presidential Election' hero=https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/80/2024/09/Aside-Presidential-2024-General-Election-1200x1200-1.png]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The public, for the most part, understands that if there is a Supreme Court vacancy, the president’s nominee will generally reflect the president’s views. But, there is a genuine possibility that if the Senate is controlled by the opposition party, the open seat will remain unfilled — not for months, but for years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Indeed, there is also a real possibility that lower court seats will go unfilled, unless there is significant backroom horse-trading. In short, with power split between the White House and the Senate, there could be unprecedented gridlock on judicial nominations that extends all the way up to the Supreme Court and down to the appellate and even district courts.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>‘The Merrick Garland treatment’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>In recent years, Republicans have wielded their power in unprecedented ways to prevent a president’s Supreme Court nominee from being confirmed. When conservative Justice Antonin Scalia died unexpectedly in 2016, Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell immediately announced that no Obama nominee would be considered at all prior to the election that was nearly a year away.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Obama \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/06/29/624467256/what-happened-with-merrick-garland-in-2016-and-why-it-matters-now\">went ahead anyway\u003c/a>, figuring that old norms would prevail if he nominated a respected and centrist judge, someone acceptable to both Democrats and Republicans.

Two states — Minnesota and North Carolina — have split delegations.

MSNBC has shown another film, called \u003cem>From Russia with Lev\u003c/em>, about the allegations against Trump from an ally turned critic, Lev Parnas. Top MSNBC hosts have called Trump a “fascist” repeatedly in recent days, based on caustic characterizations from several of \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2024/10/23/g-s1-29490/trump-john-kelly-fascist-dictator\">\u003cu>Trump’s former top aides\u003c/u>\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement, NBC News says it is proud of Soboroff’s film, noting it is based on reporting that previously aired on NBC and MSNBC.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are fortunate that even amid this challenging documentary climate, we have been able to obtain significant visibility at several prestigious film festivals and an expanded theatrical run, which qualifies it for major awards, including the Oscars, ahead of its television debut soon,” it says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Soboroff has been on the network frequently, talking about related matters. NBC News Studios says it could not air the documentary while it is being shown at various film festivals and theaters.
