“I set a rule for myself that if I didn’t vote, I couldn’t have an opinion about the outcome because I didn’t earn that right,” Patrick shared on social media. “Not this time. I voted for (Trump) and I can’t wait to see him make America great again!”

Hill criticized Patrick in response to the decision and lashed out at white women.

“Given what they said about you as a female driver and what Trump stands for towards women, this is loose behavior. But good luck!” Hill wrote.

“This is also why many people do not trust white women in these elections.”

A new battleground poll found a gender divide in the Trump-Harris showdown earlier this week.

Harris, the Democratic presidential candidateTrump polls 49%-46% among all likely voters in Michigan, according to a Quinnipiac University survey released Wednesday. According to the poll, Green Party candidate Jill Stein and independent candidate Cornel West each received 1% support.

But the survey points to a huge gap between the sexes, with women supporting Harris by a 20-point margin and Trump, the Republican Party nominee, up 16 points among men.

In Wisconsin, the poll shows Harris and Trump tied at 48%, with all of the third-party candidates listed receiving less than 1% support each.

Harris tops Trump among women by 18 points in Wisconsinwith the former president leading the incumbent vice president by 21 points among men.

But earlier this month, a CNN data reporter suggested that white women could be the key voting bloc that would give Harris victory.

Polls at the time showed that Trump was gaining ground with Latinos and Black voters. However, according to analysis by CNN’s Henry Enten, the largest group of likely voters have distanced themselves from Trump in battleground states.
