From parental rights regarding school curricula to COVID-19 vaccine authorization delays for children younger than 5, President Joe Biden and Democrats are frustrating suburban mothers.
But while the influence of the famed"soccer" and"security moms" was tested in previous election cycles, suburban women are still a crucial demographic if Biden and his party hope to cling to any congressional power after the 2022 midterm contests.Siding with mothers is widely considered to be a winning campaign strategy, according to political analyst Bertram Johnson.
"But there is a group of women we see in polling, suburban women with some college or college degrees, who are also more likely to be moms that are a group more up for grabs," she said. For Johnson, a Middlebury College politics professor, men and women typically split on issues related to the use of force and violence, including gun control, and protecting vulnerable populations, such as childcare.
Republican National Committee spokeswoman Nicole Morales cited Virginia's 2021 elections, particularly GOP Gov. Glenn Youngkin's marquee race, as evidence of the party's advantage with suburban women and mothers before November. Yet the poll found the economy and jobs were Virginia voters' top priority , followed by the pandemic , education , climate change and healthcare , abortion, immigration, and racism , and law enforcement . In the context of education, the debate over teaching critical race theory in schools was an important factor in the decision-making process for 73% and the handling of COVID-19 in schools for 85%.
The RNC has defended Florida's parental rights law, contending that White House press secretary Jen Psaki has spread misinformation about its contents.
