Read our privacy policy While his polling with women begins to sink, Donald Trump praised his supporters’s husbands for “allowing” their wives to attend his campaign rallies without them. “Somebody said, ‘Women don’t like Donald Trump,’” he said from a rally in Johnstown, Pennsylvania on August 30. Despite Trump’s claims that women “love” him, the gender gap is widening between Trump and his Democratic rival Kamala Harris, according to the latest polling from ABC News/Ipsos. The former president’s latest rally comments also come as Vance continues to manage blowback from resurfaced remarks about childless adults that he has suggested should have lesser roles in society, while Trump — who is on tape bragging about grabbing women’s genitals and was found liable by a jury for sexual assault — has recently amplified explicit sexist attacks targeting his political rivals.
