President Donald Trump narrowly won the swing state of Pennsylvania in 2016 by 44,292 votes—a victory that was crucial to his surprise ascent to the White House.
Four years later, Trump's fate in Pennsylvania is still uncertain, but the odds aren't in his favor. Most recent Pennsylvania polls show Democratic nominee Joe Biden ahead by five to eight points.
Trump is facing particularly diminished support among white suburban women, whom he questionably referred to as "suburban housewives."
Thanks to a recent segment from CNN, Americans are seeing the faces of some of the white women voters who regret casting their ballots for Trump in 2016.
Watch below.
I feel like I've been duped: Former Trump voter explains why he will not get her vote this yearwww.youtube.com
One woman said:
"I got it wrong and it hurts my heart. I feel like I've been duped. I really do. I wanted to believe that he was better than he is."
Another felt that she'd let her fellow women down with her 2016 vote:
"I feel like I did a disservice to women by voting for this guy."
Biden has been leading with women in Pennsylvania by double digits.
Some commended the women for publicly announcing their changes of heart.
4 years ago these voters supported Trump, but since that time they've felt voter's remorse over casting a ballot for him. It's never too late to do the right thing. https://t.co/zk6tIg5f2r

So brave... many of these women are likely being rejected by families members and friends because they've chosen to speak their conviction. Love hearing these women's stories. Thanks @KateBolduan https://t.co/sjavnrvDLP

It's never too late to right a wrong. It takes courage/strength for these women to admit to they were wrong. Good for them https://t.co/h32Pdd86ly

Others weren't so quick to let them off the hook.
Keep your apologies and do better. You never thought you were on Trump hitlist, until it hit your door step.
Just vote. https://t.co/JKRkwoPbaW

I just can't with these WW
I'm glad they see the light but for them to vote against the most qualified candidate in history in 2016 for an obvious con man is unforgivable https://t.co/divS9o7izb

The presidential election is November 3, but voting is already underway in at least 40 states.
