The display of women’s power in the historic elections in America
This year’s elections in the United States witnessed great success for women in all electoral fields. While the type of electoral behavior and women’s preferences in choosing candidates were one of the main puzzles of these elections, beyond their approach and desires, the high presence and immense participation of women set new records.
The decision of the United States Supreme Court to invalidate the legal ban on abortion had a significant impact on women’s motivation to defend their right to choose and control their destiny. The voter registration rate increased significantly among women following the Supreme Court’s decision.
Women candidates have achieved great accomplishments in various electoral competitions, successfully maintaining the three main executive positions in a state like Michigan. Many gubernatorial races have been dominated by women, and in several competitions, only women have competed against each other.
Even the most extreme, delusional, and dangerous factions of Trump’s Republican spectrum rely on the power of women candidates from within their ranks.
