It’s the final stretch of the all important 2018 US Midterm Elections.
Enthusiasm is high and voter turnout COULD reach record numbers.
So far, in early voting, more than 30 million Americans have cast their ballots.
But it’s one group of swing voters that’s expected to play a crucial role: and that’s female voters…particularly white women.
Many are outraged by the antics of President Donald Trump and his approach to women.
Last month that anger turned to rage – after the nomination of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh – who’s accused of sexual assault by several women.
Now, with all 435 seats in the House of Representatives up for grabs…and 35 of the 100 Senate seats, the midterms will certainly shape the final two years of Trump’s first term in office.
So, what will be the role of swing voters – especially women – in this election?
