Lindsey Graham celebrates Trump's victory with ominous threat against Jack Smith

The Harris campaign tried, with good reason, to convince white women that their futures were at stake. It's all but guaranteed that Trump will oversee further restrictions on reproductive rights, and the president-elect has also openly flirted with a federal abortion ban.

And yet this was not a winning message for white women. A current one Times/Siena showed that the majority of white women, like their white male counterparts, viewed inflation and the economy as their top voting issue. Abortion was second and immigration was third. Of course, there is a notable age split here: Generation Z women only voted 36 percent for Trump, women ages 30 to 44 voted for Trump at 41 percent, women ages 45 to 64 voted for Trump at 48 percent, and Women over 65 supported Trump former president 45 percent.

At a dinner this month, Mr. Trump mocked 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 lovers all vote for me.”
