Professor Glenn Reynolds: Is RFK Jr. the Secret to Suburban Women?
Out: Soccer Moms and Security Moms. In: Health Moms.
Professor William Jacobson recently observed that the President Donald Trump’s endorsement by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has completely energized the Trump campaign.
In his most recent Substack column, Professor Glenn Reynolds says that Health Moms have replaced Soccer and Security Moms, and RFK Jr.’s backing might give Trump the support he needs among suburban women to win this presidential election.
I haven’t seen any public polling that has drilled down deep enough to isolate the Health Mom vote, but I’m sure the campaigns’ finer-grained internal polls will do so. I don’t know what they’re showing, but I’d be willing to bet that it will be something significant. Certainly the Democrats’ harsh response to Kennedy’s endorsement of Trump suggests that they’re worried; if they thought his voters would cross over to Kamala, they’d be nicer to him.
If enough Kennedy voters shift to Trump to boost his margin by 2-3 percent, that’s likely to put him over the top in a number of swing states. And of course, Kennedy isn’t just a guy who talks about children’s health – he’s also launched powerful critiques of the Democrats’ lawlessness, support of political censorship, and general corruption, critiques that are powerful because, well, they’re true.
Will Health Moms be the difference this election? I think they just might.
