But after Democrats saw huge gains in the 2018 midterm elections, largely driven by female voters, the Trump campaign is not taking any chances. In late August, it hastily arranged a slate of events across the country to celebrate the 99th anniversary of the 19th amendment.
The women have convened, ostensibly, to observe the anniversary of women’s suffrage — or at least some ahistorical version of it. “Not only are we celebrating this president, we are celebrating the fact that 99 years ago it waswomen who advanced the movement and were victorious at achieving the right to vote for women,” Kathleen King, national committeewoman of the Republican Party of Florida, says as she warms up the crowd.
The strategy would be familiar to anyone who has ever been pitched a pyramid scheme. “The most important messenger is you, and here’s why: When people in your neighborhoods, your churches, your synagogues, your mosques, your school system, the senior center, wherever it is you are, the grocery store, when they see you, they say: ‘I like you, and you’re like me,’” Conway tells the audience.
