Trump Tries to Shore up Support Among Women as Polls Show Him Trailing

Some of President Donald Trump's fiercest female allies have set out in a hot pink RV to try to drum up support among a crucial voting base—women in swing states across the country—ahead of this fall's election.

The "Women for Trump" bus tour that launched from Pennsylvania this week comes as polls show Trump trailing Democratic rival Joe Biden heavily among female voters.

Trump's campaign hopes that appealing to women through highlighting economic growth, the effort to reopen schools after the coronavirus shutdown, and the president's "law and order" messaging following protests will be enough to lift him above Biden in key swing states necessary to winning a second term.

The portion of the tour that launched this week features the president's daughter-in-law Lara Trump; campaign adviser Mercedes Schlapp, who previously worked in the White House communications office; and Katrina Pierson, a tea party activist who also was a prominent spokeswoman for Trump's 2016 campaign.

A hot pink RV should be about as persuasive getting the female vote as Kanye West is getting the African American vote.

Always a day late and dollar short.

He's on the skids with nearly every demographic and he and his team think superficial "outreach" in any form will just magically turn things around. He's been playing defense NONSTOP since C19 came on the scene.

During a pandemic ... with no additional funding for safety precautions ...
How is this seen as something women would go for?
Crazy women maybe ....
