Women will be the group to soundly reject former President Donald Trump on Election Day, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz said at the final rally of his campaign Monday night in Detroit.

"Folks, this is getting pretty simple now: Kamala and I trust women," Walz said. "Now tomorrow, women all across America, of every age, both parties, are going to send a loud, clear message to Donald Trump, whether he likes it or not."
The comment is a callback to Trump telling an audience in Green Bay, Wisconsin, last week that he would protect women as president "whether the women like it or not. I am going to protect them." Trump acknowledged during the comment that his top aides urged him not to call himself a protector because it is "inappropriate."
Walz's comment also hints at numerous polls that show a large gender gap in the 2024 race, with women leaning toward Harris and Walz and men leaning toward Trump and his running mate, Ohio Sen. JD Vance.
