To some Republicans, it feels like adultery. Trump’s camp is shaking indignation. For one thing, there are more women than men. They are a crucial group. Harris has also made abortion rights a central issue in an election campaign in which Trump is ahead among men and the previous vice president is ahead among women.

Trump activist Charlie Kirk said on Fox News that the thought was “sickening.” The man probably has to work hard to afford his wife’s lifestyle and is also being lied to. Host Jesse Watters commented, “If I found out Emma went to the voting booth and pulled the lever for Harris, it would be the same thing like an affair“.
Former Rep. Liz Cheney referred to Kirk as “idiot”. The organization “Vote Common Good” is behind the initiative.
Do women hide their vote from their husbands?
Your managing director Doug Pagitt feels confirmed: “The Backlash some men being horrified at the thought that their wives might disagree actually proves our point. We know that the MAGA movement is increasing the pressure on people, but we also know the strong will of Americans when they stand in the voting booth.”
The Harris-Team believes (or wants to believe) that millions of women will vote differently than their husband and keep it to themselves. According to this reading, this group is also overlooked in surveys. Election evening will provide information about this. An advertisement that is on everyone’s lips, that excites everyone, is every advertising manager’s dream.
