Brittany Prime has spent the last several months talking politics with women a lot like her women who usually vote Republican, and who find themselves uncomfortable with former President Donald Trump. For moderate, center-right women, it's always going to be the economy, Prime explained. So a lot of it is reminding them that Donald Trump is not the better path forward.
Primes background is in Republican fundraising, but she says she couldnt support her partys nominee in 2016. So she co-founded Women4US, a group working to persuade Republican women to oppose Trump and back Vice President Harris. Theyre focusing on several hundred thousand women in the key states of North Carolina, Georgia and Pennsylvania.
At a pizza parlor in Montgomery County, Pa., one of the states key so-called collar counties outside Philadelphia, Prime says some women are afraid to tell their friends or even their husbands if they arent voting for Trump. You look at what Donald Trump said the other week at the rally, when he said, Raise your hand if you're voting for Kamala Harris, Prime recalled, referring to a moment at a recent rally in Wisconsin when Trump asked for a show of hands.
Actually, I should say dont raise your hand, Trump added. It would be very dangerous. We dont want to see anybody get hurt. Prime says that for many of the women she speaks with, those words resonate. Negatively. For women, that really seeps in, she said. So it's unfortunate and it's sad, but we're going to combat it in any way we can.
