Experts say Trump's vulgar insult for Harris 'not going to help him win more women voters'

Donald Trump was reported by the New York Times to be privately insulting Vice President Kamala Harris using vulgar and sexist language, leading to widespread condemnation and speculation from experts who say such attacks could cost him a key demographic.

According to the Times, "Indeed, Mr. Trump has often been in a foul mood the past few weeks. He has ranted about Ms. Harris. He has called her 'nasty,' on 'Fox & Friends,' and a 'b----,' repeatedly, in private, according to two people who heard the remark on different occasions."

This led former Bill Clinton White House aide Keith Boykin to say on his social media, "Trump called Kamala Harris 'a b----,' the New York Times reported today. Pretty sure that language is not going to help him win more women voters."

Democratic influencer Jon Cooper echoed those sentiments, saying, "I wonder if this video of Trump calling Kamala Harris a 'f------ b----' is going to help him win over suburban women voters."

"What do you think?" he asked.

Former GOP chair Jennifer Horn said Saturday, "Any presidential candidate must win a coalition of diverse support to win...gender, ethnicity, socio-economic, etc."

"I wonder what the 44% of women who voted for Trump in 2020 think about him calling the first woman Vice President a "f------ b----."

Queer activist Portia J. had this to say:

"There’s stories floating around about 45 calling MVP a b----, and with those stories, some believe this will affect his women voting base. I would like to remind y’all that the bulk of women that voted for him are white and will not care about him calling a Black woman a b----."

"Yes, it’s disgusting. Yes, he’s likely said worse. Yes, it’s more misogyny," the activist added. "But if people are counting on that to affect his numbers, I just don’t see it if for no other reason than we see daily how most feel about Black women."

For its part, the Trump campaign has denied such allegations, according to CNN.
