Donald Trump expressed disbelief that a woman would hide her ballot box choice from her husband, trashing an ad from a Democratic group that reminded women that their votes are private.
The ad, released by Vote Common Good and narrated by actor Julia Roberts, shows a woman voting for Kamala Harristhe suggestion is that her voice does not match that of her husband. “In the only place in America where women still have the right to choose, you can vote any way you want,” Roberts says in the video.
In a winding call-in with “Fox & Friends” on Saturday morning, Trump criticized both the ad and Roberts.
“I’m so disappointed in Julia Roberts. She’ll look back on that and cringe, like, “Did I really say that?” It doesn’t say much about her relationship, but I’m sure she has a great relationship,” he said.
“But the wives and husbands, I don’t think that’s the way they interact. I mean, can you imagine a woman not telling her husband who she’s voting for? Have you ever heard anything like that?” Trump said. “Even if you’ve had a terrible… if you’ve had a bad relationship, you should tell your husband. It’s a ridiculous ad, so stupid.”
Polls have shown a large gender gap among votersspecial young votersin the presidential election: a majority of women support Harris over Trump, and Trump outperforms Harris among men. In his efforts to close the gap, Trump’s appeals to women tended to tilt toward women condescending, vaguely threatening statements.
The Democratic ad, released this week, did just that right-wing influencers outraged, as my colleague Ja’han Jones has done pointed out. Some of them have done that suggested that women should not have the right to vote at all if they vote differently from their husbands.
Trump’s dismay at the suggestion that a woman’s vote is entirely her own is reminiscent of at least one instance in which he appeared concerned about how someone might vote.
