Economy trumps women's issues'

EXPERTS: WHY HARRIS DIDN'T PULL THE FEMALE VOTE

- Eric Naki

Women did not vote for Democrat Kamala Harris because her campaign was out of touch with reality in America, experts say. Economics and their livelihoods, not women's issues, are the priority for Americans.

North-West University's international relations expert Dr Jan Venter said US citizens were, in the main, conservative and they wanted conservative issues prioritised.

So Harris' "woke" message did not resonate with the voters.

Venter strongly believed that economic issues were most important to American voters and this is what made president-elect Donald Trump more popular than Harris.
