Trump Posthumously Pardons Susan B. Anthony

President Donald Trump announced Tuesday that he would posthumously pardon Susan B. Anthony, a women’s suffrage leader who was arrested for illegally voting as a woman in 1872. The announcement came at a White House event commemorating the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment, which outlawed voting restrictions based on sex. The pardon was covered by outlets on all sides, with some outlets covering the context of the 2020 election and Trump’s polling with women. Some left-rated outlets included the context of Trump’s mail-in voting comments in their coverage. Coverage from left- and center-rated outlets placed more of a focus on Trump's purported unpopularity with women, with some framing that as a potential reason for the pardon.
