New guard of GOP women say Democrats can't ‘pigeonhole’ female voters as they target key House races
Why resist verification?
A new wave of Republican women running in competitive congressional races is aiming to chip away at Democrats’ long-held advantage with female voters — and flip key seats that could determine control of the House this November.
In an interview with Fox News Digital, one of these candidates, Laurie Buckhout, a former cattle rancher, U.S. Army veteran and mother, knocked the Democratic Party for trying to "pigeonhole" female voters into a single category.
"The Democrats try way too hard to pigeonhole us women in a certain role while they still can't define what a woman is," she quipped.
She believes that despite the rhetoric, Democrats are "really out of touch when it comes to women voters."
DEMOCRATS SINK TO NEW VOTER LOW, REPUBLICANS ALSO UNDERWATER: POLL
"They try to own that gender and try to stuff them in a box," she went on. "’This is how you're going to vote. Don't tell your husband. This is how you are going to think.’ Republicans don't do that."
This midterm election, Buckhout is running to unseat Democratic Rep. Don Davis in North Carolina’s Congressional District 1. The district stretches across the northeastern corner of the state from the border with Virginia to the Atlantic coast. After narrowly losing to Davis in the 2024 election, Buckhout’s campaign has already garnered significant momentum this time around. She defeated a field of four other Republican candidates in the March 3 primary and, just this week, was further bolstered by an endorsement from President Donald Trump.
As the dominant party in an off-year midterm cycle, many expect that Republicans will take a beating at the ballot box this November. Buckhout, however, thinks it will be a very different story in North Carolina. With the GOP barely grasping onto a razor-thin majority in the House of Representatives, every seat matters.
"I can tell you the people of North Carolina, especially eastern North Carolina, they want to live their lives with a minimum of government interference, they don't want big government leaning in, telling them how to live their life, what to do, taking their money out of their pockets for more and more taxes for programs that they don't need and they didn't vote for," she said. "So, I can tell you that we feel very good about this being a Republican election, taking this, adding another seat to the House."
Buckhout is not the only female Republican candidate who stands a good shot at flipping a blue district red this year.
