Donald Trump won the presidency in 2016 largely thanks to the vote of White women. This year, Trump has lost some of those voters.
Some of those women who voted for Trump in 2016 spoke to Al Jazeera this Thursday and explained why the president won’t be getting their vote in 2020.
Nancy Shively has been voting for Republicans since 1976. She voted for Trump in 2016 even though she wasn’t a “big fan.”
“Really seeing in living colour … his personality on display, it was just so clear to me how relentlessly narcissistic he is and how he was trying to pawn off responsibility on the governors instead of doing it himself,” she said, adding that when she voted for Trump, “I didn’t know I was [potentially] signing my own death warrant.”
Kris Searcy also had regrets for voting for Trump in ’16, saying that she felt “disgusted” casting her ballot for him, but her dislike for Hillary Clinton was too much to overcome.
“I thought Trump would just sit back,” she said. “I didn’t think he would be involved in anything. I thought he would get a lot of really smart, intellectual conservatives to come in.”
“When I heard his inauguration speech, I just felt sick to my stomach,” she recalled.
Trump has been pushing away voters that got him in the White House in the first place. The election is less than two weeks away and Trump has been falling behind on the polls.
