In an election that saw Vice President Kamala Harris become the first Democratic presidential candidate to lose the popular vote in 20 years, Donald Trump secured the majority of white women voters for the third consecutive time.
Despite his controversial track record—overturning abortion rights, facing court rulings affirming sexual assault against E. Jean Carroll, and enduring opposition from women’s advocacy groups—52% of white American women supported Trump.
The outcome underscores a powerful, often underestimated, voting bloc. While Harris’s campaign fixated on winning over the so-called “silent majority” of women, whom they believed might vote contrary to their households, it was ultimately Black men and women who continued to support her in significant numbers, while white women did not.
Liberal anxieties about Harris’s appeal to Black male voters, viewed as a potential liability, now seem misplaced as a larger demographic—white women—did not support Vice President Kamala Harris.
