Trump uses outdated thinking in attempt to woo suburban women: I’m ‘getting your husbands back to work’
CNNWashington CNN — President Donald Trump offered his latest appeal to suburban women Tuesday evening, promising to get their husbands “back to work” if he’s reelected. Claiming he was “saving suburbia” at a campaign rally in Lansing, Michigan, the President pitched himself as the candidate for suburban women voters because he’s “getting your kids back to school” and “getting your husbands – they want to get back to work. We’re getting your husbands back to work.” While Trump focused on “husbands” during his speech in Michigan on Tuesday, the coronavirus pandemic has had a much larger effect on women in the work place. He has made several attempts at wooing female voters in recent weeks – at one point even saying, “Suburban women, will you please like me?” during a campaign rally – but has often used sexist and demeaning language when referring to women, especially his political opponents such as Hillary Clinton, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Democratic vice presidential nominee Kamala Harris.
