Former President Donald Trump has expressed incredulity and disdain over a new ad from the Democratic group Vote Common Good, which highlights the privacy of women’s votes. The ad features actress Julia Roberts encouraging women to vote for Vice President Kamala Harris, implying that their choices may differ from their husbands’.
Trump, in a conversation with “Fox & Friends,” criticized both the ad and Roberts, suggesting the ad portrays an unrealistic relationship dynamic. He questioned the notion that a woman would hide her voting choice from her husband, calling the ad “ridiculous” and “stupid.”
This outburst comes amidst polls highlighting a significant gender gap in the upcoming election, with women leaning towards Harris while Trump enjoys stronger support among men. Trump’s comments have sparked outrage among right-wing influencers, some of whom have even suggested women should lose their voting rights if they differ from their husbands.
Trump’s reaction to the ad echoes his past concerns about individuals’ voting choices, prompting some to question his understanding of women’s autonomy and voting rights.
