American elections 2024: voting infidelity? Silent husbands helped Donald Trump outsmart Kamala Harris’ secret wives

American elections 2024: voting infidelity? Silent husbands helped Donald Trump outsmart Kamala Harris’ secret wives

It all might have come down to people walking into the room, their hearts skipping a beat as they mentally removed their wedding rings before casting their votes. Because just like in Vegas, what happens in the voting center stays in the voting center. Otherwise, millions of husbands would have cheated on their partners on voting day. This while Donald Trump is all set to become the 47th president of the US and win the 2024 presidential elections convincingly.

While most opinion Polls showed that there was a neck-and-neck battleWith Democrat Kamala Harris, Trump’s campaign seemed unusually enthusiastic as the election approached. The reason? They had faith in the huge group of silent pro-Trump voters who are making a big statement on voting day. They also destroyed the Democratic campaign that asked women from conservative households to secretly vote for Harris.

TRUMP CAMPAIGN SECURES SILENT MALE VOTERS

Electoral disloyalty has been the talk of the town this election season.

“If I found out that my wife secretly voted for Harris, that would be like having an affair. That would violate the sanctity of our marriage. That would be D-Day,” political commentator Jesse Watters said during a panel discussion on Fox News.

That was a possibility.

Although the adult franchise is about expressing individual choices, women from conservative American households are expected to vote for the Republican Party just like the menfolk.

The Harris campaign even released an ad featuring Pretty Woman actor Julia Roberts to encourage women to vote for Kamala Harris and keep it a secret from their husbands.

The ad shows two women secretly voting for Harris, exchanging glances and reassuring their husbands that they picked the “right candidate.”

“Remember, what happens in the booth, stays in the booth,” assures the voice of Julia Roberts.

HOW KAMALA HARRIS TRIED TO REACH ‘SECRET WOMEN’

Women voted differently than their partners, and kept it a secret.

About 12% of women surveyed by YouGuv said they secretly voted differently than their partners, The Washington Post reported. Nine percent of men also admitted to secretly voting differently from their husbands.

Forty percent of women surveyed believed their partners planned to vote for Trump, while 38% planned to choose Harris, the Washington Post report said. “Among men, 46% believed their husbands planned to vote for Trump, compared to 40% who planned to vote for Harris.”

The Wall Street Journal questioned the ad in an op-ed headlined “Kamala Harris’s Secret Wives.”

Collin Levy’s op-ed called it “one of the weirdest pitches of the 2024 election,” and asked why the Harris campaign “insulted the intelligence of the women it is trying to attract?”

The gender subtext of the ad was clear. It also gave a hint in the battle of the sexes that have come to dominate the 2024 US presidential election.

That the men are for Trump is what the Harris campaign ad unintentionally conveyed. This is the truth, according to multiple surveys, and most of them are silent voters.

A survey by the New York Times and Sienna College found that women have maintained their long-standing support for Democrats and men for Trump. Trump had an 11 percentage point lead among male voters.

“Trump is betting he can leverage all of this to motivate a wave of young men to vote on Election Day,” said the New York Times.

Female voters did indeed lean toward Kamala Harris, but her lead among them did not go beyond what Joe Biden saw in 2020 or Hillary Clinton in 2016, according to a CNN exit poll.

The CNN poll, which was still dynamic due to the addition of data, showed that Harris won women by 8 points, while it was 15 and 13 points respectively in the case of Biden and Clinton.

However, Trump was a hit among young voters, both men and women, and his appeal this time cut across race. Latino men hugged him.

Most of them were silent the whole time.

WHY PRO-TRUMPERS DON’T COME OUT OF THE CLOSET

And there’s a reason why a large portion of Trump voters are silent.

The idiosyncratic Republican has received mostly bad press. The caricature of Trump and his voters was not generous.

In a gaffe, President Joe Biden revealed what he and Democrats consider Trump voters: “garbage.”

It’s the judgmental frown that most Trump voters want to avoid, and therefore no longer want to appear in front of their friends, colleagues and pollsters.

“If you had conservative friends (of which I have many) and you were someone they didn’t fear judgment from, they would usually quietly say they voted for him (Trump) over Clinton. At least it seems that way to me. to represent the classic ‘silent’ Trump supporters,” said one Reddit user.

It was the silent voters who gave Trump the presidency in 2016 and made the Democrats underestimate the size of his support base in 2020.

SILENT HUSBANDS ARE NOW ON THE ROAD AFTER TRUMP WIN

More and more Trump voters are coming out now.

“The social stigma goes away because he is very well known to the public, and he hasn’t changed,” political consultant Jimmy Keady told the Washington Examiner.

While the fear of being called a Trump voter is coming to an end, the fact remains that most of his voters remain just that: silent voters. What could be more proof than how multiple polls have failed to gauge Trump’s approval ratings time and time again.

Trump’s secret voters acted exactly like secret lovers. Act in complete silence.

“The secret husband who votes for Trump drives home after an early vote, while his wife who votes for Harris is awash in blissful ignorance,” said a post on X with an image from the iconic film The Shining.

The radiant

Ultimately, Trump made history by… first American president in 132 years to be reelected after being kept away from the Oval Office. It’s because the men helped him contradict Kamala Harris’ secret wives, in absolute silence, sometimes hiding it from their husbands.
