Among men in that same demographic, 43 percent of respondents supported choosing the former president compared to 52 percent who said someone else.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs the Republican Party has changed, I think that women, obviously, especially suburban women, have largely moved away from the Republican Party as a result of Trump because they don\u2019t like his antics or his rhetoric,\u201d said Sarah Matthews, who served as former White House deputy press secretary under the Trump administration.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd so I think that moving forward that\u2019s going to be the issue for Republicans to appeal to that voting demographic because at the end of the day, they\u2019ve already soured on Trump,\u201d she continued. \u201cAnd so if he is ultimately the nominee for 2024, then I don\u2019t know if there\u2019s much that they can do to appeal to them because they\u2019re just turned off by Trump no matter what.\u201d<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr2_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>But Trump\u2019s campaign projected confidence that they would see strong support among women voters in 2024.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNot only is President Trump the greatest president in U.S. history, but he is a great human being who has advocated for the advancement of women throughout his life. In 2016 and 2020, women voters came out to support President Trump and 2024 will be no different,\u201d Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung told The Hill in a statement.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Republicans also say it\u2019s not just about the candidates they\u2019re fielding, but also about how they\u2019re framing their issues, too.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr3_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>\u201c\u2026I think the importance here with regards to \u2018approaching women\u2019 is understanding that various issues \u2014 how you message them can be received differently by male and female voters and not understanding that reality I think can [be] electorally costly,\u201d explained John Couvillon, a Louisiana-based pollster who typically works with Republicans.<\/p>\n<p>Couvillon found, for example, that messaging that used harsher rhetoric turned off women more than it dissuaded men. He explained that could be a \u201cvery costly oversight\u201d if that\u2019s not factored into political messaging given that women usually make up between 50 to 55 percent of the electorate.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEspecially from the past midterms, Republicans have a lot to learn about talking to and engaging with women. I think schools and school rights and parental rights was a very effective message, and I think moving into 2024 it doesn\u2019t surprise me that they\u2019re talking about that,\u201d said Jennifer Lim, founder and executive director at Republican Women for Progress.\u00a0<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr4_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>And Republicans are eager to recalibrate their messaging as Democrats continue to go on the offensive on issues like abortion.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat I would love to see is the GOP and especially the Republican women rising in the ranks and putting their candidacies out there \u2026 I would love for them to come up with some positive policy proposals that actually take into consideration what women are dealing with right now,\u201d Lim said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>On Wednesday, EMILY\u2019s List, a group devoted to electing Democratic women candidates in favor of abortion rights,\u00a0announced it was targeting 23\u00a0House Republicans over their positions on abortion.\u00a0<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr5_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>Last month the Republican National Committee passed a resolution urging \u200b\u200bGOP candidates to \u201cgo on offense\u201d on the issue through labeling Democratic opponents as extremists. However, Democrats are skeptical Republicans will be able to win over women voters anytime soon.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think that they\u2019re going to have a really hard time with younger women because of the intense impact that the Dobbs decision had. It\u2019s kind of like other intervention effects like the Vietnam War,\u201d said Celinda Lake, a Democratic pollster. \u201cThere are things that happen to a cohort [like] Watergate, that can be so foundational that it can permanently influence attitudes. But I think the Dobbs decision and that whole battle is going to make it more difficult for the Republicans to get younger women even as they age.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Exit polling from the 2022 midterm elections show that 47 percent of female voters felt angry about the Supreme Court\u2019s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade \u2014 the landmark decision that established the constitutional right to access an abortion \u2014 and 83 percent of those women voted for a Democratic candidate, according to <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.brookings.edu\/research\/midterm-exit-polls-show-that-young-voters-drove-democratic-resistance-to-the-red-wave\/\">The Brookings Institution<\/a>.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr6_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>There\u2019s also the question of what impact having women at the top of the ticket will have in 2024. Former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley has touted her status as the only woman in the 2024 GOP primary so far, but she has been careful to distance herself from what she dubbed \u201cidentity politics\u201d at her campaign launch.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>And Republicans are keenly aware that putting a woman on the ticket will not necessarily translate into more female votes, citing the late Sen. John McCain\u2019s (R-Ariz.) decision to choose former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R) as a running mate in 2008.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt would be a naive misunderstanding of women voters to think that just by putting a woman candidate [on the ticket], you can somehow woo women voters,\u201d said Debbie Walsh, director for the Center for American Women and Politics at Rutgers University.\u00a0<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr7_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s not about the gender of the candidate. It\u2019s a party issue and the party issue is tied directly to policy issues,\u201d she said. \u201cWhere do these two parties stand on issues that matter to women.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Democrats, too, say that the GOP is not the only party facing issues with women voters, pointing to the nuances among the voting bloc as a whole.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201dI think Republicans have a woman problem, but Democrats have a woman problem too. Because the key for Democrats to win is they have to win women by more than they lose men by, and that means you have to get some white women, you have to get some blue collar women, you have to get some older women. And those are groups that Democrats struggle with,\u201d Lake said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
