The Harris campaign rightly tried to convince white women that their futures were at stake. Trump is all but guaranteed to oversee further rollback of reproductive rights, and the president-elect has also openly flirted with a federal ban on abortion.

And yet, it was not a winning message for white women. A recent Timetable/Siena showed that the majority of white women, like their white male counterparts, considered inflation and the economy their top voting issue. Abortion comes second and immigration third. Certainly, there is a notable age difference here: Gen Z women only voted 36% for Trump, women aged 30 to 44 voted 41% for Trump, women aged 45 to 64 year olds voted 48% for Trump and women over 65 supported the party. former president 45 percent.

At a dinner this month, Mr. Trump mocked one of the pro-Harris affinity groups. “There’s a group called ‘White Dudes for Harris,'” he said, “but I don’t worry about them at all, because their wives and their wives’ lovers all vote for me.”
