In the end it will be down to women voters in the US election

In this US election, more than in any other election in American history, it will be women who make the difference. How many women voters who normally vote Republican will turn against their leader because of his abortion views and his past sexist comments about women? That's the key. If a whole bunch of Republican women decide to vote for Kamala Harris because of her constantly repeated statements that women should be allowed to own their bodies without interference from the State, Donald Trump could be swept aside. It just might happen. Much will depend on what women voters do in the key battleground states. That's where it will truly count. For the first time I am beginning to think that this switch in loyalty WILL happen which means that Kamala Harris will win, possibly by a larger margin than all the polls are predicting. But if Republican women stay loyal to Trump, despite all the reasons not to, then Trump will probably win. So it's down to women, Which way will they go? The other key ingredient, of course, is that these women will be voting for a woman, voting for the first female president in the history of the United States. They turned against Hillary Clinton when she tried to be the first. But that now seems a long time ago. We are in 2024, and maybe these women voters will decide, yes it's time for the glass ceiling to be broken. Time for a female president. Fingers crossed.
