Women Dominate Early Voting as Donald Trump Supporters Get Nervous

Source: Newsweek

Published Oct 31, 2024 at 6:07 AM EDT | Updated Oct 31, 2024 at 7:49 AM EDT


Women are dominating early voting in the 2024 election so far, prompting concern among some of former President Donald Trump's allies.

Women are outpacing men in casting ballots nationally and in all seven battleground states, according to NBC News' tracker of early ballot returns. Of the more than 58 million mail-in and early in-person votes that have been cast nationally, 54 percent were cast by women and 44 percent by men.

In the swing states of Pennsylvania, Michigan, Georgia and North Carolina, there is at least a 10-point gap between men and women in the early vote. The gender gap was widest in Pennsylvania as of 2 a.m. ET on Thursday, with women accounting for about 56 percent of the early vote, and men for about 43 percent.

Pennsylvania, the largest battleground state, is key for both Vice President Kamala Harris and Trump, and both have campaigned in the state more than any other as polls show a tight race in the final days of the campaign. Newsweek has contacted the Trump and Harris campaigns for comment via email.

there was a thread early about some other notable moron
And this twerp


Jesse Watters Warns Wife That Secretly ‘Pulling The Lever’ For Kamala Harris Would Be Like ‘Having An Affair’: ‘D-Day!’

He began: “If I found out Emma was going to the voting booth and pulling the lever for Harris, that’s the same thing as having an affair.”

“It’s over, Emma!” Watters declared mockingly. “That would be D-Day!”

“This segment is over!” co-host Dana Perino shouted over the babble.

If a man secretly votes for Trump, isn't that cheating on his wife, by his “logic”?

I swear the right has blinders to double standards.

Why waste time with the controlling idiot?! Find somebody better. If you're voting Democratic, we already know you're worth it.
