Trump Pushes to Boost Turnout Among Young Men, Harris Focuses on Female Voters
The Wall Street Journal ^ | November 3, 2024 | Andrew Restuccia and Michelle Hackman

Posted on 11/03/2024 3:08:08 PM PST by MinorityRepublican

Donald Trump is pinning his political future on winning the votes of disaffected young men. Kamala Harris is doing the same with female voters—particularly moderates and independents.

In a race that has been defined by a stark gender gap, each candidate is focused on supercharging turnout among the group they most need to win over, and a boost of just a couple points with either group could decide the race. The final NBC News national poll of the contest shows Trump winning men by 18 percentage points, and Harris winning women by 16—and the race tied overall.

On Sunday, Harris campaigned across Michigan after prominent woman surrogates—including former first lady Michelle Obama and Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer—held weekend events for her in battleground states. Lady Gaga, Oprah Winfrey and Katy Perry are among the female celebrities who will campaign for Harris on Monday. Trump campaigned Sunday in Pennsylvania and North Carolina, and was scheduled to hold a rally in Georgia later in the day.

For Trump, the challenge is that young men in particular vote at far lower rates than many other demographic groups. They are more likely than older generations and their female peers to be disconnected from politics, and they are increasingly disillusioned with the country’s institutions, according to researchers and election analysts.

The liberals have had their day in the sun. The hippies from the 1960’s have been on the stage for far too long. It’s time for the world to swing hard right. It’s just a cycle.

I’m really worried that the mindless females aren’t tuned in to what they are about to do. The biggest mistake ever made on the planet. There won’t be freedom and liberty ever again.
You can vote your ass into Marxism and Socialism but you have to shoot your way out of it. They’ll be bawling their eyes out for the rest of the lives except those that killed their babies.

You are correct, because the rat party can’t even identify what a woman is.

You are going to see a very low turnout for Harris on Tuesday. She does NOT inspire anyone (except the rabid lunatic left) to vote for her. Those left wing lunatics already submitted their ballots through the mail. Democrats won’t have anyone remaining to vote on election day.

Trump voters (especially men) will overwhelm the voting booths on Tuesday. It will be an endless stream of Trump voters, all day.

Trump wins and World War Three is averted. The only deaths will come from democrats when they commit suicide by the millions, starting in 2025.

Our Founding Fathers were wiser than us. They didn't put the 19th Amendment into the Constitution.

We did.

So we only have ourselves to blame...

Here’s hoping that prediction is true.

What happens when abortion is readily available, inexpensive or free, and socially acceptable? Will teenagers interpret abortion as acceptable, like getting a cavity filled, and be sexually active without regard for the outcome?

Well, If Swifties can all vote then the ovaries will win.

Data wise females outnumber male voters.

Is President Trump really trying to boost male turnout? And if so, how?

They just have to show up in MI, PA and WI. They do not even have to show up in the Sun Belt.

I'm prepared for the scenario where that may happen.

I am optimistic and hopefully that won't be the case. But at the same time, I am realistic.

Podcasts such as Joe Rogan. Encouraging early voting this time.

Rather sad that the outcome of this election may hinge on whether or not women will be able to kill their babies.

I never understood the need for abortion on demand, like getting a glass of water, when there are so many types of contraception out there.

To get pregnant when you don’t want to be is total irresponsibility. And this irresponsibility is fixed by killing someone.

Irresponsible people are generally owned by the democrats, so the abortion game Harris has been playing really only affects those that would vote for her in the first place.

Why turn out when your side will cheat enough for the win?

I was sure looking forward to seeing Hillary Clintoon come crashing through the “glass ceiling” at the Jacob Javitz Center back in 2016. It’s not looking too good for seeing Harriz do it this time.
