Trump faces uphill battle with female voters as early turnout trends show women leading

Donald Trump is facing challenges in appealing to female voters as early voting shows women outpacing men in key battleground states. Recent polls indicate Trump trails Kamala Harris among likely female voters by 14 points, while he leads among men by 6 points. Trump's campaign strategy has focused on male-dominated platforms, avoiding opportunities to engage with female audiences. His comments about being a "protector" of women have drawn criticism, and his approach has led to public disagreements with his staff over messaging. In response, Trump has launched a women's tour featuring prominent female supporters. However, his past stances on issues like abortion continue to alienate women, complicating his efforts to close the gender gap in the election.
