Bernie Sanders Dominates 2020 Presidential Field in Donations From Suburban Women
Bernie Sanders Dominates 2020 Presidential Field in Donations From Suburban Women
https://fortune.com/2019/11/08/bernie-sanders-women-donors-poll-2020/
If the most recent round of elections this week taught us anything about the way things will play out in 2020 it’s this: Don’t underestimate the growing power of women as both a voting bloc and source of funding.
In Virginia, Democrats took full control of the state government for the first time since 1994. That win was partially due to a cash infusion of the $2 million from Emily’s List, a group that backs female candidates who support abortion access. And it’s not just Virginia. In Republican strongholds like Kentucky and Pennsylvania, Democrats picked up wins thanks largely to the votes of suburban women.
“We should always take lessons learned from each election and I think that as a party we have recognized that we have seen an erosion of support among women, suburban women,” Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Ark.) told reporters the day after the election. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) also pointed out that his party lost out because they lost “women in the suburbs, which led in the House to losses in suburban Kansas City, Oklahoma City, Houston, Dallas, Atlanta, Charleston.”
