Wall Street Journal: “President Trump is ramping up his push for suburban women, but his appeals may face an uphill battle with a voting bloc that has been reluctant to support him, according to surveys and interviews with voters.”
“Mr. Trump has repeatedly targeted what he calls suburban housewives as he lags behind presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden in state and national polls, pitching to women in part with suggestions that his rival would usher in lawlessness on the streets and seeking to stoke anxiety about housing integration. ‘The ‘suburban housewife’ will be voting for me,’ Mr. Trump declared on Twitter this week. ‘They want safety & are thrilled that I ended the long running program where low income housing would invade their neighborhood.’ Four years ago Mr. Trump beat Democrat Hillary Clinton in the suburbs 49% to 45%, according to exit polls. But he saw many women in those areas move away from the party in the 2018 midterm elections. Now he is looking to make up ground, particularly in key battleground states, such as Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Arizona, where he will be traveling in the coming days.”
