The women’s vote in America is undergoing a profound transformation, marking a shift in how women view their place in politics.
Over the past four years, the establishment media and leftist agendas have pushed divisive narratives regarding gender, family and women’s issues. While they have put tampons in boys’ bathrooms, labeled conservatives as “garbage,” and called masculinity toxic, the America First movement has stayed grounded in values that genuinely matter to women, mothers and families. With President-elect Donald J. Trump recently naming Susie Wiles as the first female White House chief of staff in American history, the left’s hollow claims of supporting women are more exposed than ever.
When will they get the message? Women stand with the America First movement.
The left has not only alienated women by pushing radical policies, but they have even gone so far as to demean and ridicule conservative women. Their divisive rhetoric reveals an intolerance that many women are fed up with. Media giants like Disney, Bud Light and Target have adopted and promoted these ideologies, leading to a backlash from consumers, especially women, who are tired of having their values trampled. Financial repercussions followed as stock values dropped, signaling that Americans — especially women — have had enough. The message is clear: The America First movement is here to protect, not undermine, women’s interests.
This shift is mirrored in the numbers. Across seven battleground states, early and absentee voting by liberal women dropped by a staggering 546,756 votes compared to 2020. Meanwhile, conservative women cast 112,635 more early ballots, signaling a surge in support and enthusiasm. This data does not just suggest a dip in liberal support; it signals a broader awakening among women who are realigning their values and priorities, feeling alienated by a leftist ideology that has become increasingly anti-family and anti-community.
The policies of the America First movement are striking a chord with women because they focus on family, health and community safety. Radical attempts to pass abortion amendments in Florida, Nebraska and South Dakota all failed, proving that conservative values still resonate deeply with women. In addition, the Biden-Harris border policies have led to devastating consequences for families, as the tragic deaths of young girls like Laken Riley and Jocelyn Nungaray painfully remind us. Their deaths have struck a nerve with mothers who want a future where their daughters are safe.
On top of this, the Biden-Harris administration’s assault on Title IX — a cornerstone achievement for women’s equality — has stripped girls of the opportunity to compete fairly. Title IX was championed by women who fought for equal sports opportunities, only to have this hard-won equality undermined by leftist policies. Girls have been forced to share locker rooms with biological men and have lost titles and opportunities. Some even faced physical harm, getting pummeled in contact sports. The left’s betrayal of women’s sports has driven many mothers and athletes to seek representation in a movement that protects their rights.
Heading into Election Day, 6,000 Americans joined an America First Action Fund tele-town hall with Amaryllis Fox Kennedy and Brooke Rollins. The discussion highlighted the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) initiative, which tackles food safety and child health — issues that deeply resonate with mothers. From concerns about fluoride in drinking water to harmful Red Dye #40 in foods, MAHA offers solutions that prioritize the health of families, an issue women care about now more than ever.
Not only has the left pushed radical policies, but they have stooped to telling women to lie to their husbands about voting, a tactic that many found manipulative and offensive. This reflects a disrespect for family unity, further driving women away from an ideology that promotes deceit over trust. Women across America are waking up to the left’s empty promises and instead aligning with a movement that respects their values.
The implications of this shift are enormous. Conservative women are stepping into roles that will shape America’s future: Susie Wiles, the first female chief of staff; Linda McMahon, co-chair of President Trump’s transition team; Brooke Rollins, president and CEO of the America First Policy Institute; or Kellyanne Conway, the first successful female presidential campaign manager responsible for electing President Trump in 2016. The America First movement actually empowers women and places them in positions of influence and power. In contrast, the left continues to alienate and manipulate women while claiming to represent them.
The data does not lie. America First has made significant inroads with women, transforming the political landscape by addressing what truly matters to them. This is not just a passing trend; it is a transformative shift that underscores the priorities of American women today.
Women are embracing a movement that genuinely supports their families, health and safety — and they are prepared to make their voices heard loud and clear as they reshape America’s future.
