Surveys Show Abortion Has Surpassed Inflation As The Top Election Concern For Women Under 30.
(VOR News) – According to the results of a KFF study of female voters released on Friday, abortion has surpassed inflation to become the most significant issue for women under 30 in the presidential election.
Vice President Kamala Harris has led the Democratic national ticket for the first time, having succeeded President Joe Biden in this capacity.
About two out of five young voters stated that abortion was their main concern in the most recent study. Compared to the spring survey, when only one in five young voters voiced the same fear, this represents an increase.
Young voters’ top concern was inflation, as it was for female voters of all ages in the previous study. Regardless of age category, women over 30 continued to have inflation as their top concern.
Abortion was the third most important issue for women.
Ranking higher than immigration but lower than inflation and posing a threat to democracy.
678 female voters participated in a survey done by KFF, a health policy-focused media, research, and polling group, between September 12 and October 1. Most of them had taken part in the same study in the previous wave of the survey, which was conducted in May and June.
The follow-up survey group also included 29 Black women in order to guarantee a statistically significant sample size for that group. With wider ranges for the other voter groups, the sample’s error was five points, either positive or negative.
Although abortion has always been a hotly debated topic, things took a turn for the worst in 2022 when the US Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade and gave states the authority to restrict abortion. Following that, Harris’s opponent, former President Donald Trump, who was also a member of the court, nominated three judges to the court.
Most Republican-controlled states are in the midst of putting these restrictions into effect right now. Thirteen of them, with some exceptions, forbid abortions during the whole gestational cycle. Furthermore, four of them have limitations that start at some point in the first six weeks of pregnancy—usually before a woman even realizes she is expecting a child.
Harris prioritized expanding abortion services during his campaign.
The elections this year could impact the laws governing abortion, not only in the presidential race but also in nine states where ballot measures safeguarding abortion rights are on the ballot.
Elections for a number of offices, such as state legislatures, governors, attorneys general, justices of the state supreme court, and other positions, may have an impact on future abortion laws.
In general, almost two thirds of women have said that the election will significantly change the accessibility to abortion. Compared to slightly over half of women who answered the first survey, this is an increase.
If a bill was enacted by Congress and signed into law, most women anticipated that President Trump would sign it, outlawing abortions performed within the first 15 weeks of pregnancy. Prior to the end of the survey.
President Trump said he would veto abortion bans.
The majority of respondents stated that they thought Harris would sign any legislation passed by Congress to safeguard access to abortion on a nationwide scale.
the right to an abortion, there is a big difference between the parties regarding who would make the best candidate. Less than one-fifth of Republicans and 90% of Democrats who responded to the study said they supported Harris among the women. The poll’s findings also showed differences in opinion over which candidate would be best for obtaining access to IVF and birth control.
The study’s findings suggest that Republican women are feeling more nervous and frustrated about the presidential contest than they were at the beginning of the year. They are also showing a somewhat reduced degree of zeal and optimism. On the other hand, even if they are just as nervous, Democratic women are far more passionate and upbeat.
Slightly over half of Republican women are happy with the presidential contenders they have selected, as they were in the spring. Conversely, among Democratic women, satisfaction increased from just over one-third to almost three-quarters.

Democrats Now Leaderless After Trump Presidential Win
Democrats spent billions of dollars with the legacy media to try and create fear among American voters that Donald Trump posed an imminent threat to democracy; in the end, voters didn’t care. They chose to believe their own eyes and not the rhetoric.
Following Kamala Harris’ decisive loss, the Democrats are now entering a second Trump presidency without a clear leader, a clear plan, or an accord on the reasons for their significant miscalculations in the 2024 election.
Sen. Bernie Sanders, the Vermont independent and former Democratic primary candidate, had warned Harris before Election Day that she was focusing too much on flipping Republican votes and not enough on pocketbook issues. He issued a statement excoriating party leadership.
“It should come as no great surprise that a Democratic Party which has abandoned working class people would find that the working class has abandoned them,” he said. “First, it was the white working class, and now it is Latino and Black workers as well.
While the Democratic leadership defends the status quo, the American people are angry and want change. And they’re right.”
Trump’s promises to impose tariffs on both allies and foes and his threats to American businesses contemplating the relocation of jobs offshore were alluring to union workers.
Alexandra Rojas, the executive director of the far-left Justice Democrats, told AP that the party’s leadership must “accept responsibility for that a second”Donald Trump presidency was once again feasible under their supervision.”
Rojas charged that the Democratic Party is los”ng legitimacy among the everyday people and marginalized communities, who are continuously used as stepping stones to win elections. She also acknowledged that “there are no easy answers for where we as a coun”ry and movement go from here.”
The data indicates that Democrats have” substantial work to do.
Faiz Shakir, the Democratic strategist who oversaw Sanders’ 2020 presidential campaign, is concerned that Sanders’s Democratic Party will fail to engage in the necessary introspection after this catastrophic defeat.
He asserted that “a healthy party is challenging itself to conduct”that type of autopsy and hear what we did wrong.” “I am not even aware that such a process will occur. He asks, “Will the Democratic Party’s well-paid consultant and big-money interParty learn any real lessons from this disastrous campaign?”
“Will they comprehend the political alienation and pain that tens of millions of Americans are currently experiencing?” Do they have any suggestions for how we can confront the Oligarchy, which is gaining economic and political influence at an accelerated pace? It is unlikely, he said.

Kamala Concession Speech Trends on Google
One day after former President Donald Trump’s historic re-election, Vice President Kamala Harris conceded the presidential race and vowed to maintain unity. Her concession speech trended on Google with over 5 million searches.
“I do not concede the fight that fueled this campaign, but I do concede this election.” She stated, “In our nation, we owe loyalty not to a president or a party, but to the Constitution of the United States.”
Kamala Harris acknowledged that there was no viable strategy for obtaining the presidency even though her speech was not what she intended.
In the center of Washington, DC, Harris delivered a speech at her alma mater, Howard University. Harris expressed her gratitude to the hundreds of campaign workers and volunteers who worked assiduously on her campaign and to the tens of millions of voters who cast their votes for her.
Kamala Harris also stated that the country should unite for a peaceful power transfer despite the agony of losing.
She said, “We must acknowledge the outcomes of this election.” “I conversed with President-elect Trump earlier today and congratulated him on his victory.”
I also informed him that we would assist him and his team during his transition and participate in a peaceful transfer of power.
In the interim, Sen. Bernie Sanders issued a caustic statement regarding the presidential election results, accusing the Democratic Party of having “abandoned” working-class voters. It’s unsurprising that “a Democratic Party that has abandoned working class people would find that the working class has abandoned them.”
Sanders, who secured re-election last night, stated that the party’s white working-class voters were the first to quit and that it now appears that Latino and Black workers are following suit. “The American people are enraged and desire change despite the Democratic leadership’s defense of the status quo,” he stated. “And they’re right.”
Trump and Vance were also congratulated on their electoral victory by former President Obama, who ardently campaigned for Harris in the final stretch before Election Day. This was announced in a statement published today.
“This is obviously not the outcome we had hoped for, given our profound disagreements with the Republican ticket on a whole host of issues,” according to him. “But living in a democracy is about recognizing that our point of view won’t always win out, and being willing to accept the peaceful transfer of power.”

Despite All the Odds Donald Trump Elected 47th President
On Wednesday, Donald Trump was elected the 47th president of the United States, a remarkable turnaround for a former president who refused to concede defeat four years ago.
Trump achieved the 270 electoral votes required to secure the presidency with a victory in Wisconsin. On Wednesday afternoon, he emerged victorious in Michigan, conquering the “blue wall” with Pennsylvania.
On Wednesday afternoon, Vice President Kamala Harris contacted President-Elect Trump to congratulate her and acknowledge his victory in the election. Shortly thereafter, Vice President Biden conversed with Trump to extend his congratulations and invitation to the White House.
Foreign leaders like French President Emmanuel Macron and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also phoned Trump.
“I would like to express my gratitude to the American people for the extraordinary honor of being elected as your 47th and 45th president,” Trump addressed a crowd of enthusiastic supporters in Florida before officially confirming their victory.
“Today, you demonstrated unprecedented attendance to secure a victory, and we have endured an immense amount of hardship together,” Trump said. This was truly exceptional, and we will repay you,” he added.
Upon his return to office, Trump will collaborate with a Senate that is now under Republican control, while the House’s governance remains uncertain.
Elon Musk’s Tesla, banks, cryptocurrencies, and the U.S. stock market all surged Wednesday as investors anticipated a smooth election and Trump’s return to the White House.
Trump has pledged to implement an agenda that prioritizes the substantial revamping of the federal government during his second term.
When Trump assumes office on January 20, he will face various challenges, such as global crises testing America’s influence abroad and heightened political polarization.
Trump has pledged to revolutionize nearly every facet of the American government. This encompasses the intention to initiate the most extensive deportation operation in the nation’s history, once more pursue a zero-sum approach to foreign policy, and increase the use of tariffs.
Upon his arrival in Washington in 2017, Trump was unfamiliar with the mechanisms of federal authority. Congress, the judiciary, and senior staff members who acted as guardrails impeded his agenda.
This time, Trump has declared that he will surround himself with allies who will execute his agenda without question and arrive with hundreds of proposed executive orders, legislative proposals, and in-depth policy papers.
