Many suburban women in Michigan have message for Trump: We want security, not chaos
For some, the fact that the president's statements are misleading or racist does not matter. Fear is a powerful motivator. There’s a chance Trump's message will resonate with suburban women, a voting bloc where he can't afford to lose any electoral ground. The campaign needs these voters to see him as the “law and order” president and cast a ballot in his favor.
But analysts, experts and Trump’s opponents agree many of his comments aimed at suburban voters are racist and out-of-touch. A new poll conducted for the Free Press shows Michigan women have the same top issues as men this election season: both ranked restoring the economy and jobs lost because of the pandemic and managing COVID-19 as their top concerns.
There's a far greater chance that Trump’s outdated message imploring so-called soccer moms to support him will actually motivate suburban women — already trending toward Democrats — to vote for Biden.
And while Detroit's suburbs are demographically less diverse than bedroom communities in other regions of the country, Bagchi and an expert noted many people who identify as Black, Latino, Asian or a different ethnicity already call these areas home.
