After Kamala Harris' nomination, I talked to a bunch of journalists about our meta-analysis on race/gender in candidate experiments.

With the exception of 1 brave journalist, everyone called me off.

I've never been called off by so many journalists. A 🧵on why I think that is. I don't know why so many journalists called me off, but I have a hunch.

Our meta-analysis concludes that, on average, voters DO NOT discriminate against minoritized politicians.
