Kamala Harris struggles to gain women's support in presidential campaign

inquirer.net

Kamala Harris's presidential campaign did not secure the expected support from women voters, despite a focus on abortion rights. Exit polls indicated she had an eight-point advantage among women, significantly lower than Joe Biden's support in 2020. Harris's campaign struggled to connect with a diverse range of women. While she performed well with Black women, Donald Trump gained ground with white women and had a 13-point lead among men, compared to an eight-point advantage in 2020. Economic concerns, particularly inflation, influenced many voters. Some women, feeling the financial strain, expressed support for Trump, citing his anti-immigration stance and promises of change. Harris's campaign strategies, including outreach to conservative women, did not yield the desired results.
