On National Girls & Women in Sports Day, Trump moves to ban trans athletes

While marking the 39th annual National Girls & Women in Sports Day, President Donald Trump chose a controversial way to recognize it.

Can Democrats’ message on DEI convince white women to dump Trump?

As Democrats have pushed back against President Donald Trump‘s executive actions on eliminating diversity, equity, and inclusion and their potentially far-reaching implications, some leaders are emphasizing the attacks on DEI will impact not just Black, Latino, and LGBTQ+ Americans but also women — namely white women. Following Trump’s Thursday press conference, where he essentially blamed the deadly plane and helicopter collision near D.C.’s airport on DEI, Congressional Black Caucus chairwoman Rep. Yvette Clarke, D-N.Y., in a statement last week noted […]

Harris found success with women who have cats, but Trump got the dog owner vote

The lead-up to the 2024 election was all about cat owners. But in the end, the dogs had their day.

Dog owners were much more likely to support the Republican over Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris. Cat owners were split between the two candidates. About two-thirds of voters said […]

After Trump’s win, Black women are rethinking their role as America’s reliable political organizers

ATLANTA (AP) — As she checked into a recent flight to Mexico for vacation, Teja Smith chuckled at the idea of joining another Women’s March on Washington. As a Black woman, she just couldn’t see herself helping to replicate the largest act of resistance against then-President Donald Trump’s first term in January 2017. Even in an election this year where Trump questioned his opponent’s race, held rallies featuring racist insults and falsely claimed Black migrants in Ohio were eating residents’ pets, he didn’t just win a second […]

Exit polls show majority of Black men and women voted for Kamala Harris

Despite much hand-wringing about whether Black men would jump ship from the Democratic Party and vote in droves for Donald Trump, election exit polls tell a different story. Early exit polls from The Washington Post show that 78% of Black men voted for Kamala Harris. The vice president’s numbers were just one point under those who voted for Joe Biden in 2020. “We said early on, based on our data, that the mainstream media was going to continue to prepare to […]
