They let many people in who do a lot of damage to our country, says Edwards. She does not think it is true that most women prefer Harris. At least not in the southern states. – Most of the women I talk to here in the south are conservative and have conservative values. They hold on to those values and say directly that it is Trump they want, says Edwards. Trump has previously said that he will protect women “whether they want it or not”, a statement that has drawn criticism from women. Trump at a rally in Macon, Georgia.

I don’t think he means everything that comes out of his mouth, says Gillespie. – Everyone says things they wish they hadn’t said. But when you look at the big picture, you have to go for the candidate that best matches your values, she adds. Gillespie doesn’t think she can’t be convinced to vote for Harris. – She has had her chance, she says.

On the night of Tuesday Norwegian time, the well-known podcast host Joe Rogan announced that he supports Trump for president. He interviewed Trump on the “Joe Rogan Experience” podcast last week. On Tuesday, Elon Musk was also a guest on the podcast. – If it hadn’t been for him, we would have been “fucked”. He is most persuasive about Trump and I totally agree with him. For the record, yes this is a statement of support for Trump, writes Rogan on X. Published 05.11.2024, at 04.21 Updated 05.11.2024, at 06.36
