Former President Donald Trump made a campaign stop at a rally in Mosinee, Wisconsin, where he aimed to appeal to female voters. Despite his claims that women love him, polling data indicates that women favor Democratic nominee Kamala Harris over Trump by significant margins. Trump has made efforts to narrow the gender gap by promising government-funded in vitro fertilization treatments and addressing child care costs, while also expressing support for abortion bans and the overturning of Roe v. Wade.
At the rally, Trump reiterated his support for exceptions to abortion bans in cases of rape, incest, or to protect the life of the mother. Despite his attempts to appeal to female voters, polling experts do not believe his efforts will have a significant impact. Some women in attendance at the rally expressed surprise at the gender gap in polling and voiced their support for Trump’s messaging on abortion laws being decided by states.
The Trump campaign did not provide additional details on his proposals or how they plan to appeal to female voters. Meanwhile, Democrats are hopeful that Republican women, like former Rep. Liz Cheney, will turn against Trump due to his past remarks and treatment of women.
Trump’s rally in Mosinee featured his usual rhetoric, with attendees holding “Drain the Swamp” signs and the use of bulletproof glass on stage following a recent assassination attempt. Trump strayed from focusing on his proposed policies at the rally, instead touching on various topics and making baseless claims.
Despite his efforts to attract female voters, Trump faces a challenging uphill battle in appealing to women, as polling indicates a significant preference for Harris over the former president.
