Trump is crushing DeSantis with women Republican voters in the primary race In the key nominating states of Iowa and New Hampshire as well as the general election battleground of Arizona he holds a double-digit advantage over DeSantis among women. 'Republican women are Trump's army,' said James Johnson, co-founder of J.L. Partners. 'In the wider country, Trump lags behind Biden with women - especially in the suburbs. But get to the Republican primary audience, and female voters are Trump’s most ardent supporters — backing him more than men do by as much as 30 points.'
