Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Saturday, November 02, 2024

The determination of so many women to elect Harris over Trump could prove decisive. It would be one of the more ironic twists in modern political history - and one of the more fitting ones, too - because a campaign pitting men against women is exactly the campaign Trump and his advisers wanted.

It's no secret that this year's gender gap is shaping up to be the largest in memory, with polls showing men favoring Trump by double digits, and women favoring Harris by a similar margin. In many ways, that gap was preordained not because of who's on the ballot, but what's at stake - the future of reproductive freedom, and one side that's actively pushing to regress back toward restrictive gender roles and limited rights.

But instead of trying to counter that, Trump has leaned in. The Trump gambit depends on winning over more men faster than he alienates women. And that's hardly a safe bet.

Overall, according to a recent Politico analysis, women are accounting for 55% of the early vote across battleground states. And in Pennsylvania, a state that many strategists consider the most important for each candidate, data suggests that early voting includes a relatively high proportion of Democratic women who did not vote there in 2020.

One of those storylines is the determination and enthusiasm of women who back Democrat Kamala Harris, including women who might be afraid to say so publicly because their husbands support Republican Donald Trump.

I first heard about this last week, in Michigan, while covering a campaign event for Democratic Senate candidate Elissa Slotkin. Slotkin said canvassers were reporting stops at houses with large Trump signs, where women would answer and - when asked which candidate they were supporting - would quietly point to a photo of Harris on the canvassers' campaign literature.

Slotkin went on to say she'd been hearing of an organic campaign to put notes in bathroom stalls, reminding women that their votes are confidential and that they should vote like their daughters' lives depend on it.

Once again, women will save this republic as they've done countless times before. There's a very salient reason why they're known as mans' better half. They seem to be able to remain in touch with their own humanity while men devolve back to our neanderthal past, full of testosterone overloaded demonstrations which actually displays the weakness and fear far too many try to hide.

Thank goodness, Sisters are doing it for themselves.

Trump: "Can you imagine a wife not telling a husband who she's voting for? Did you ever hear anything like that? Even if you had a horrible -- if you had a bad relationship, you're gonna tell your husband."

Tim Walz in Vegas: Donald is concerned that he's not getting the women vote. He told you he would be your protector. Spoken by a guy who nearly bit it trying to get in a garbage truck. 'Open the door, Donald, open the door.'
