Former U.S. President Donald Trump has stepped up his attacks on Vice President Kamala Harris, employing a new wave of crude and misogynistic comments that have sparked outrage. On his social media platform, Trump reposted an offensive meme suggesting that Harris and Hillary Clinton traded sexual favors for political gain. This follows a previous attack earlier this month, where he shared a parody video mocking Harris as "moronic" and insinuating inappropriate behavior with former San Francisco mayor Willie Brown.
Escalating Rhetoric and Declining Female Support
Trump's intensified rhetoric comes at a time when polls indicate he is losing support among female voters. A recent Reuters/Ipsos poll shows Harris leading Trump by 45% to 41%, with her lead growing to 13 points among both women and Hispanic voters. The survey suggests that when voters consider the race or gender of the candidates, Harris's lead increases significantly.
Misogynistic Language and Public Backlash
The former president's supporters have echoed his attacks, with Fox News anchor Jesse Watters making a controversial comment about Harris that drew immediate backlash. Critics, including Kerstin Emhoff, ex-wife of second gentleman Douglas Emhoff, have come forward to defend Harris, arguing against the sexist remarks.
Polls and Potential Rejection of Election Results
As Harris continues to gain ground, particularly among women, Trump and his followers have suggested that any election result not in his favor may be unfair. This echoes previous claims made by Trump regarding election integrity. Polls indicate that Harris is ahead by 7 points overall and by 10-15 points among women in some battleground states. Trump's history of sexist comments and allegations of sexual misconduct may be contributing to his declining support among female voters.

Conclusion:
With the U.S. presidential election approaching, Trump's tactics of attacking female opponents may be having the opposite effect, potentially undermining his support base. As Harris gains momentum among female voters, the political landscape appears increasingly unfavorable for Trump.
