White women in Alabama have made up their minds about Roy Moore



A recent Washington Post poll shows that nearly 6 in 10 white women in Alabama are likely to vote for Roy Moore, the Republican Senate candidate facing allegations of sexually assaulting multiple teenage girls when he was in his 30s.

After the 2016 presidential election, women on the left called out the 53 percent of white women who helped elect Donald Trump over Hillary Clinton, the first female nominee of a major political party. Trump also faced more than a dozen allegations of sexual assault during his campaign.

Last spring, actress Tina Fey warned white, college-educated women who had supported Trump that their votes would have negative consequences for them.

“A lot of this election was turned by white, college-educated women who now would like to forget about this election and go back to watching HGTV,” Fey said during an April Facebook Live fundraiser for the American Civil Liberties Union. “You can’t look away because it doesn’t affect you this minute, but it’s going to affect you eventually.”
