Kamala Harris has a new “serious problem” on her hands just two days before the presidential election.
Female voters on both sides of the aisle were disheartened by misogynistic comments made last week by Harris’ top campaign surrogate, Mark Cuban, saying that Donald Trump doesn’t surround himself with “smart women.”
And an “insulting” new ad from Harris-Walz suggesting women should “lie to their husbands” about how they vote doesn’t help the Democratic candidate either.
Additionally, questions remain about Harris’ husband Doug Emhoff’s “cheating and slapping” scandal and her vice president Tim Walz’s torrid affair with a Chinese woman he “led for years.”
As a result, some of his female supporters may not participate in these elections, experts tell DailyMail.com.
That could spell major trouble for her campaign, as voter turnout is crucial with Harris and Donald Trump neck and neck in the seven battleground states and within 0.5 percent of each other in national polls.
Jessica Anderson, president of the Sentinel Action Fund, told DailyMail.com that Harris now has a “serious problem with women.”
Female voters are increasingly feeling rejected by the misogyny of Kamala Harris’ campaign surrogates and her husband’s sexual transgressions, experts tell DailyMail.com.
And it’s not limited to her, it’s “the entire Democratic Party,” she explained.
It all came to a head this week after billionaire Harris supporter Mark Cuban was forced to apologize for his “disgusting and misogynistic” statement about Trump.
‘Donald Trump: you never see him surrounded by strong and intelligent women. It’s that simple,” Cuban said while on one of his private planes, sparking backlash.
“On the left, we have Mark Cuban calling conservative women weak and stupid,” Anderson scoffed.
She also mentioned a new Harris-Walz ad featuring Julia Roberts suggesting that women should lie to their husbands about who they vote for so they can “sneak” vote for Harris-Walz.
It’s about “insulting women and telling them to lie to their husbands,” Anderson continued.
The ad, produced by Vote Common Good, a nonprofit aimed at mobilizing religious voters, suggests that the wives of Trump supporters could safely vote for Harris.
Sen. Katie Britt, R-Alabama, said on Fox News on Friday that “(Democrats’) belief that women can’t have difficult conversations with their husbands is degrading.”
He added about the Cuban controversy: ‘I worked for President Trump. I’m not weak or stupid and I worked with many other women who weren’t weak or stupid.’
It may not be enough to make Democratic women lean toward Trump, but it could lead many of them to sit out this election, she explained.
Britt “absolutely” said women will consider “not participating” in the election based on Cuban’s recent comments.

And that could also affect turnout in Democratic elections, he said.
Rep. Ashley Hinson, R-Iowa, told DailyMail.com that Harris’ campaign strategy will be “counterproductive.”
‘His campaign’s final argument is to insult women’s intelligence and call Trump supporters trash.
“I guarantee you that will backfire and inspire even smarter women across the country to go out and vote for Donald Trump.”
“They’ve turned it into a scaremongering campaign,” Britt added.
Kellyanne Conway, who was Trump’s senior adviser from 2017 to 2020, said Cuban’s comments show how “desperate and worried” Democrats are about the 2024 election.
‘Donald Trump: you never see him surrounded by strong and intelligent women. It’s that simple,” Cuban said while on one of his private planes, sparking backlash.
Cuban’s “sexist” comment is the latest in a series of potentially damaging issues for Harris’ campaign with women.
Harris’ husband, Doug Emhoff, has been accused of “slapping hard” his ex-girlfriend and cheating on his first wife with their babysitter, whom he got pregnant.
Harris never addressed the controversies, which infuriated the woman whom Emhoff “slapped so hard she turned around.”
“He is presented as the antithesis of who he really is. And that’s absolutely shocking,” he told DailyMail.com.
Another top Harris surrogate governor in Michigan, Grechen Whitmer, recently angered Catholic women by posting an “offensive” video on TikTok mocking the Holy Eucharist.
And the vice president’s appearance on the racy sex podcast Call Her Daddy with pro-abortion activist Alex Cooper didn’t help her with evangelical women.
The two discussed the importance of abortion access for almost the entire podcast.
DailyMail.com also exclusively reported that Harris’ vice-president-elect Governor Tim Walz had a secret affair with the daughter of a high-ranking communist official during his teaching stint in China in 1989.
Jenna Wang, 59, claimed the vice presidential hopeful showered her with gifts and seduced her before treating her “like a prostitute” after egging her on without a proposal.
Despite the controversies, Harris still ranks well above Trump among women.
According to a DailyMail.com/JL Partners poll of 1,000 likely voters, she has a 14-point lead over Trump among women.

When women are asked for a one-word summary of Trump, the most common words are: corrupt, strong and crazy. The idiotic, arrogant and dangerous ones come later.
For men they are: Strong, corrupt and competent.
When men describe Harris, the most common words are: incompetent, liar, competent.
For women they are: strong, fake and competent.
However, Trump is doing better with women than he did in 2016, following the infamous Access Hollywood tape.
But more women are voting early, which is a good sign for Harris’ campaign.
Kellyanne Conway, who was Trump’s senior adviser from 2017 to 2020, said Cuban’s comments show how “desperate and worried” Democrats are.
This week, Harris attacked Trump for saying he would protect women whether they like it or not.
“It just doesn’t respect women’s freedom or women’s intelligence to know what’s best for their own interests and make decisions accordingly,” she said on stage in Phoenix, Arizona. “But we trust women.”
Meanwhile, Trump is defeating Harris among men by more than 22 points, according to the DailyMail.com poll.
Fifty-nine percent of men said they would vote for Trump, compared to 37 percent who said they might put their cross next to Harris’ name.
Among women, 54 percent said they would vote for Harris and 40 percent for Trump.
