19. It does look like a lack of support from women was an important reason Harris lost.
Fri May 9, 2025, 01:23 PM
May 2025

From: https://19thnews.org/2024/11/harris-support-women-over-65/
"Harris lost support from women overall — but not women over 65"

This when probably most of us thought it would be the women vote that would carry Harris to victory.

Then there is this: https://19thnews.org/2020/11/white-women-had-doubts-they-voted-for-trump-anyway/?itm_source=parsely-api
"White women had doubts. They voted for Trump anyway."
"White women who said they were having second thoughts about the president, citing their concerns about health care during the COVID-19 pandemic, his divisive racial rhetoric and even his general demeanor, ultimately chose to stand by him."

The rest of the free world doesn't seem to have any problem with women leaders but it appears to be different here and if we want to win in '28 we need to make a safe choice regarding our candidates. Reality sucks, but it is what it is.

Looks like a double whammy with women.
"They said they didn’t like the president’s rhetoric, his handling of the pandemic. But in the end, they came home."
