Former President Trump, the 2024 Republican presidential nominee, is set to join Fox News' Harris Faulkner for a town hall in Georgia. He'll speak to an all-female audience about critical issues. The event will take place at the Reid Barn in Cumming, Georgia, on Tuesday and air Wednesday at 11 a.m. ET on "The Faulkner Focus."
Ahead of the town hall, Faulkner emphasized the significance of female voters. She noted, "Women constitute the largest group of registered and active voters in the United States." It’s crucial for them to know where candidates stand on vital issues. Faulkner is eager to help viewers understand Trump’s positions.
Georgia remains a key battleground. In 2016, Trump won the state against Hillary Clinton. However, in 2020, it flipped blue, with Biden narrowly defeating Trump by 0.23%. Recently, Fox News polling indicated Vice President Harris has a three-point lead over Trump.
Many Georgia voters view Harris as the candidate who will support the middle class and safeguard democracy. She is seen as more likely to advocate "for people like you" by a six-point margin. Her strongest advantage is on abortion, where she leads Trump by 18 points.
Top issues for women this election cycle include abortion, the economy, immigration, and health care. Trump is expected to address these topics during the town hall. The abortion debate has intensified, with Harris claiming Trump would impose a federal ban if re-elected.
Trump and his running mate, Ohio Senator JD Vance, counter that no federal abortion ban will occur. They argue that post-Roe v. Wade, states determine abortion laws. In a recent Truth Social post, Trump promised to "protect women at a level never seen before" if elected.
He expressed concern for women, stating, "Women are poorer than they were four years ago." He vowed to rectify these issues swiftly, asserting, "Women will be happy, healthy, confident, and free!" Fox News has extended town hall invitations to the Harris campaign, though she has opted for an interview with Bret Baier instead.
