Frank Luntz Critiques Trump's Gender Gap Strategy

Former President Donald Trump's recent gendered personal attacks on Vice President Kamala Harris have intensified, despite pressure from within the Republican Party to address economic issues that voters prioritize. GOP pollster Frank Luntz warns that these insults have created a significant gender gap, with a recent Fox News poll showing men favoring Trump by 12 points while women prefer Harris by 10, marking a 22-point swing. Luntz likens the perceptions of Trump and Harris to divorce dynamics, suggesting that Trump's rhetoric risks alienating female voters. He advises Trump to focus on policy rather than personal insults, emphasizing the need for a forward-looking approach that addresses economic challenges. Luntz's critiques indicate a potential shift in voter sentiment, labeling Trump's current strategy as 'political suicide.' The implications of this rhetoric could have far-reaching effects on the 2024 election landscape, particularly regarding perceptions of women in politics.
