_ Donald Trump has won the majority of white women voters for the
third straight time. Exit polls reveal a stunning race gap in how
people voted in the 2024 presidential election. _

Even after destroying abortion rights, even after a judge went to
painstaking lengths to clarify that Trump raped

Jean Carroll, and even as the Harris campaign targeted the imaginary
“silent majority” of women hiding their political views from their
husbands, 52 percent of white American women showed us who they are:
Trump supporters.

National exit polls
[[link removed]] show
that Trump easily carried white women’s vote, as white men too were
59 percent for Trump. For comparison, Black men and women went 20
percent and 7 percent for Trump, respectively.

There was so much liberal hand wringing over Harris’s perceived
issues with Black male voters. Black men were too sexist, too
uneducated, and were seen as a real vulnerability for her chances.
“This election has taught me that there is a true intellect
deficiency amongst our Heterosexual Black Men. It’s a sad
reality,” one viral tweet
[[link removed]] on X read. A
bit earlier, Barack Obama delivered an entire speech blaming Black men
for their reluctance to back Harris. 

And yet Harris won three-quarters of Black men, while a much larger,
much more powerful group of voters (white women) rejected the party
begging for their votes for the third time in a row.

The Harris campaign tried, with good reason, to convince white women
that their future was at stake. Trump is all but guaranteed to oversee
a further rollback in reproductive rights, and the president-elect has
also openly flirted with a federal ban on abortion. 

And yet that was not a winning message for white women. A
recent Times/Siena

that the majority of white women, like their white male counterparts,
saw inflation and the economy as their top voting issue. Abortion was
second, and immigration was third. To be sure, there is a notable age
split here

women only went 36 percent for Trump, women aged 30 to 44 went 41
percent for Trump, women aged 45 to 64 went 48 percent for Trump, and
women over 65 backed the former president 45 percent.  

At a dinner this month, Trump taunted one of the pro-Harris affinity
groups. “There’s a group called ‘White Dudes for Harris,’”
he said, “but I’m not worried about them at all, because their
wives and their wives’ lovers are all voting for me.”

Democrats banked on white women being more conscious voters than white
men, more fatigued by the years of hateful and incendiary rhetoric
from Trump. They conjured up an image

voting in secret droves for the first woman president. It just cost
them another election.
