MILWAUKEE — Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders (R-AR) rallied conservative women on the sidelines of the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee as President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump prepare to make their pitches to women before the first presidential election after the overturning of Roe v. Wade.

“The Left loves to talk about the war on women, but the only war that I see being waged is from the far Left against the conservative, strong women in this country,” Sanders told a National Federation of Conservative Women luncheon Tuesday on the sidelines of the confab. “And when they learn that you are a Trump-supporting Republican woman, they’ll attack you even more relentlessly.

“Believe me, because I’ve been on the receiving end of those attacks as governor and as President Trump’s press secretary,” she said. “But like all of you, I know how to tough it out. No nasty comment is going to stop us from protecting women’s sports or banning offensive, nonsense words like ‘birthing person’ and ‘pregnant people.’”

Democrats are hoping abortion will once again be a wedge issue at the ballot box this November as it was for the 2022 midterm elections, in which Biden’s party outperformed expectations, despite poor economic indicators.

Sanders told reporters afterward she remained confident in Trump’s ability to appeal to women, though many of them backed former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley during the primary.

“President Donald Trump is going to get the majority of women because he’s the one that’s actually doing things that empower and help women and American families,” she said.

The National Federation of Republican Women is part of the Republican National Committee and its grassroots outreach and organizing strategy, according to NFRW political director Nikki Beaver.

“NFRW has strike forces of volunteers from around the country that will be deploying to the battleground states to knock on doors, make phone calls, and talk to voters on the importance of this election and how important their vote is,” Beaver told the Washington Examiner. “Women are being called the defining factor in this election and NFRW will be delivering the women’s vote for Trump.”
