Republican women should vote conscience, turn away from Trump

One important factor overlooked in the upcoming Harris vs Trump Presidential Election is the voting power of some Republican women.

Over the years a minority of Republican women have been repelled by Trump’s actions:  his conviction for rape, his stand on abortion, his criminal convictions in New York City and his demeaning public comments about women.

One example of this female political power is they helped Biden win Maricopa County, Arizona in the 2020 election. All across the country this group of Republican women may appear to favor Trump publicly, but in reality they are horrified their party is led by a convicted criminal.

I believe in the November 2024 election, we will see more of these silent Republican women turn away from Trump in the voting booth, and vote their conscience.
