Suburban Women In Swing States Could Save America From Donald Trump

With national polls showing a virtual tie between President Biden and Donald Trump, one group of voters could determine the overall outcome in November. And that group is suburban women voters in swing states, and right now they are tilting in Biden's favor. The big issue pushing them away from Trump is reproductive freedom, something that Trump has waffled on for years and something that the Republican Party as a whole is struggling with. Those struggles could swing the election for the Democrats, as Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains.

Donald Trump's ongoing legal problems have the possibility if he gets convicted of completely destroying his chances of winning the November election. But even if he is acquitted, or if all the trials other than the Manhattan one do not take place till after the election, don't worry folks, because there's actually one group of people in the United States that could easily swing the election and prevent Donald Trump from becoming president again. Our hope for keeping Donald Trump outta the White House lies on one very specific demographic. And that demographic, according to the latest polling, is suburban women voters in swing states. So not just suburban voters, not just suburban women voters, but suburban women in swing states that small subset of American voters likely hold all the power in this year's elections and get this. They're off at Donald Trump because of his stance on abortion. Lemme read you the poll numbers here. This from Wall Street Journal too, by the way. This is a right wing paper, commissioned this poll, and this is what they got. 57% of suburban women in seven battleground states said, the ex president's policies are too restrictive. While only 20% said, president Joe Biden's policies are not restrictive enough. That issue, the restrictive versus not restrictive is of course, women's reproductive health freedom. Or if you'd rather say it, abortion, 39% of the pool said abortion is the most important issue in deciding whom to vote for in November.

So it is the hard line Republican stance that women should not have reproductive freedom. They should not be able to get an abortion even if their life is at stake, because we've already seen that. Because of that, these suburban women voters are telling us right now, we're not gonna support that guy because I'm gonna vote and my vote is gonna be on that issue because that issue may affect me. That issue may affect another family member. It may affect my friends. This is an issue that is close to home for these voters. It's not an abstract idea. It's not some far off thing. Oh, it'll never happen to me. You don't know because you cannot predict it. Now here's why I'm describing it in those words, and some people may get mad at what I'm about to say, but I'm gonna tell you this because this comes from four years of political science

Study where I have my degree. This comes from 20 years of being involved in the political world, in progressive media, studying, reading, learning for two decades. And it's this voters typically, when it comes time to head to that voting booth in November, they're not gonna be worried about what's happening halfway across the world. They're not, they don't, they're not gonna be worried about this. Oh, immigrants are coming in, immigrants are coming in. They're not. Do you know why? Because there's now a superseding issue for them.
