If the re-election of Donald Trump is surprising, Amy Greene, teacher at Sciences Po Paris and specialist in American politics, explains that some American women were able to “divide” the protection of abortion and the pro-Trump vote on their ballot.
Donald Trump's victory in the US presidential election took many Americans and the rest of the world by surprise. Guest of “20 Heures” on France 2, Wednesday November 6, Amy Greene, teacher and specialist in American politics at Sciences Po Paris, recognizes that “this wave, this real popular momentum […] was in no way predictable [pour elle]”.
On the subject of the female vote, which was supposed to work in favor of Kamala Harris, the specialist specifies that the referendums parallel to the election could have reversed everything: “Women were able to sanction abortion bans in their state and still support Donald Trump”souligne Amy Greene.
“No one really saw it coming.”agrees on the same set Étienne Leenhardt, head of the foreign policy department of France Télévisions. “It’s one thing to say that the pollsters had predicted a close vote with a margin of error”adds the journalist, who specifies that a “debate” is taking place at the moment between the sounders, who are not arriving “not to be categorized” Donald Trump voters, to try to explain these results.
