Stefanik on gender voting gap: 'Trump's campaign has strong, intelligent women'
House Republican Conference Chair Elise Stefanik (N.Y.) touted former President Trump's support among women despite the apparent gender gap in polls against his Democratic rival, Vice President Harris.
“I think it's important for viewers to know that President Trump is doing better among women than Kamala Harris is doing among men. There is a significant gender gap, but President Trump is overperforming. Kamala Harris is significantly underperforming,” Stefanik told anchor Shannon Bream on “Fox News Sunday” when asked about the gender gap.
Bream also asked Stefanik, the highest-ranking Republican woman in the House, why the Trump campaign has not made peace with former presidential candidate Nikki Haley so that the moderate Republican could campaign for Trump on the trail.
“President Trump's campaign has strong, intelligent women deployed across the country. I've been on the campaign trail. Lara Trump is on the campaign trail. Sarah Huckabee Sanders. All of the women are working together to turn out the vote.”
“And we are going to earn this support because if you look at President Trump's record when it comes to women, it was the highest number of women ever in the workforce, the largest wage and salary increase for working women ever, child care was affordable, and we had safety and security — whether it was a secure border or a president that supported our law enforcement,” Stefanik said.
Haley has not been on the campaign trail stumping for Trump, even though she endorsed the GOP nominee months after ending her primary bid in what became a bitter race against the former president. Republican National Committee Chair Michael Whatley said in an interview last week that they would “welcome” her support on the campaign trail.
Haley has been critical of the Trump campaign’s messaging to female voters. She warned last week that Republicans “need to look at how they’re talking about women.”
“I mean, that this bro romance and this masculinity stuff, I mean, it borders on edgy to the point that it’s going to make women uncomfortable,” Haley said.
