Former President Donald Trump will attend an all-female town hall on “issues impacting women” just weeks before the November election.
The town hall, which will air on Fox News, will be moderated by the outlet’s Harris Faulkner and consist of an all-female audience. The Q&A is expected to touch on women’s rights and issues such as IVF and abortion, as well as the economy and safe communities to raise families.
“Women are not politically monolithic and want a thriving economy and safe communities," Trump campaign spokesperson Caroline Sunshine said in a statement on Friday. “President Trump is looking forward to hearing directly from the women of Georgia and discussing how he will bring down the cost of living and Make America safe, secure, and affordable again.”
After announcing the town hall, which will air Wednesday, Faulkner said it is essential for women voters to understand where the presidential candidates stand on issues that matter to them. She pointed out that women comprise the most significant number of registered and active voters in the United States.
The NY Times reports the event, announced by Fox News on Friday, will focus on “issues impacting women ahead of the election,” the network said, including abortion, day care, child care, health care and the economy.
It will not be shown live. The event will be taped on Tuesday evening, in Cumming, Ga., and air on Wednesday at 11 a.m.
Trump’s Democratic opponent, Harris, is set to appear for her own town hall with Anderson Cooper on CNN on Oct. 23, with voters in Pennsylvania. That event will be aired live.
CNN has said Mr. Trump has an open invitation to appear on the network for a town hall.
Fox News on Friday said the same regarding Harris. “Fox News has a standing invitation to Vice President Harris for a town hall event of equal stature which has been extended to her campaign multiple times since she became a candidate for president in August,” the network said in a statement.
