Vice President Harris’s strategy of riding on a surge of female support ultimately fell flat, with hints that Election Day could see a historic gender gap failing to materialize.
White women sided with President-elect Trump for the third straight cycle, and he also made inroads with Latina voters and young women. Trump improved on his 2020 margins with Latina women by 8 points, according to Edison Research. And among young women, Trump improved by 11 points compared to last cycle, according to NBC News exit polling.
While Harris won women, Trump’s gains with the voting bloc have Democrats reeling as they work to understand what went wrong on election night.
“At the end of the day, female voters across the country looked at whether they were better off than they were four years ago and they decided that they weren’t,” said Lauren Zelt, executive director of Maggie’s List, a group dedicated to electing conservative women to public office.
In the lead-up to Election Day, Republicans repeatedly pointed back to the argument that women are often the financial gatekeepers for their families, betting that large swaths of the voting bloc would prioritize the economy amid high inflation.
Democrats, on the other hand, prioritized abortion access to energize women, framing Harris’s campaign as a fight for fundamental freedoms.
“Democrats made the mistake of lumping all women together and assuming that we vote as a bloc on one issue,” said Kristin Davison, a national Republican strategist.
Democrats also acknowledge they had major flaws in their economic messaging, which many say began with President Biden.
“For some reason President Biden and the Biden team for over a year either told Americans that they weren’t experiencing what they actually were experiencing when it came to groceries, gas and household costs...

Congratulations female voters!!!!
Beautiful! Well done!!
You secured your family’s and your future.
All my love and admiration!!
They still don’t get it. The era of identity politics is over.
Two factors may have overridden abortion as a top concern:
1) economic worries, including inflation,
2) personal safety concerns about rising crime due to the invasion of illegals.
You mean not all female voters are communists? I’m shocked, I tell you. Stunned and shocked. But mostly shocked. And a little bit stunned.
Thank goodness they figured it out. The Dem used abortion as a vote grabber....but forgot about the other cr** they supported.
Abortion means one thing...not Freedom....but death by murder.
The embrace of the woke “transgender” movement turned off many women in women’s sports, both “gay” and “straight” women, and their fellow women admirers as well. I think that segment neutered the pro-abortion segment as far as “women’s” issues.
We are seeing the beakup of the usefulness of identity politics, as no longer can they get away with embracing every new “identity”; the natural fissures are increasingly showing.
So happy to see the pro-abortion fanaticism of the Democrats didn’t carry them far.
Inflation
Crime
Illegal Aliens
Trannies
War
I keep sayin’!
Other than that Mrs Kennedy, how was the parade?
They hate that btch.
Stupid drunk coke head who destroyed their family’s fortunes for 4 straight years.
Women are not to be blamed and shamed as the left is trying to do, rather they should be exalted and celebrated for saving America and securing the future of their family and themselves.
Take a bow ladies! Well done!!
Silly middle aged married, dumb cackling wine mom - minus kids was a turn off?
Or you can be like Tom Bombadil (referring to your tagline). But no one knows who his is so maybe that’s not an option for everyone.
Younger women and younger men, black men and hispanics — those demographics going for Trump could spell trouble for future Democrat elections.
Like Harris tried, they will run toward the right in the future and govern to the left if they win.
I wanna know — just who ARE those “stunning Democrats” Harris fell short with?
I would remind the Democrats what the great Al Bundy said. He said “Don’t try to understand women. Women understand women, and they hate each other.” Women understood Harris, and they hated her. Didn’t the Democrats understand that?
Democrats are idiots if they think I’m going to vote for someone based on their sex or race.
It reveals them as the sexist, racists they are.
As Joey “Da Yeti” Reid would say, “Dohs pesky honky wimmens did it.”
Young Black men were like **** that, when the Democrats demanded them to vote for Kamala Harris.
Most women do not want a women for president…maybe a women with a lot of military experience….Hillary could not get over the hill…Plus most men do not want a woman president..
