A woman’s perspective on abortion, child care, and sports: Trump focuses on women’s issues in front of an all-woman audience in Fox News town hall
Former President Donald Trump attempted to reach out to women voters with a Fox News town hall that aired Wednesday morning. Trump took questions from an all-women audience during the hour-long special.
Trump heard from a crowd of people who were supportive, including child care and sports. He talked about reproductive rights late in the town hall, conceding that some states have passed abortion laws that are “too tough” in the wake of the Dobbs decision. He stood by his comments about the Democrats being the enemy from within and he said he would use the military against them.
The crowd was very enthusiastic in their support of the former president. Faulkner also was friendly — she was critical of Democratic efforts to “prebut” the town hall with a press call Tuesday and shook her head silently after playing a clip of Georgia Sen. Raphael Warnock from that Democratic press call.
Trump did not give answers to many of the questions. When Faulkner pressed him on what he could realistically get done with Congress on immigration, he did not answer, but instead slammed Biden and Harris’ record on the border.
“There’s no country that can sustain this,” he said. We’re the laughing stock of the world. They’re making fun of the president and vice president.

Taking care of women’s basic rights: A campaign aide on abortion rights in the U.S. After the referendum on November 11, 2016, Donald J. Trump spoke at Futures
After one question asking how he’d help with the costs of childcare, Trump talked about growing the Child Tax Credit as president. He did what he did and a lot of the benefit went to low income families. He said that he wanted to bring down corporate taxes and that he was unsure about how he would help with the costs of raising children.
“I think the bigger problem is the enemy from within. He told Bartiromo on Sunday morning Futures that not even the people that have been in the country for a while are destroying the country. “We have some very bad people. Some people on the left are sick. It should be easy to deal with, if necessary, by National Guard or the military.
About 50 minutes into the show, there was a discussion about abortion. One person asserted that women are free to do what they want with their bodies, and then asked “Why is the government involved in women’s basic rights?”
Three justices on the Supreme Court voted to overturn the federal law prohibiting abortion rights.
The Harris campaign is continuing to hit Trump hard on the topic of reproductive rights. In that “prebuttal” call that they held before Trump’s town hall, the family of Amber Thurman, a woman who died waiting for reproductive care after taking abortion pills, emotionally talked about how Thurman’s death was preventable.
He spent $20 million on ads trying to make Americans fear him, because he doesn’t have a plan in this election that will focus on the needs of the American people.
She said she would follow the law after Trump spent millions of dollars to demonize Harris for supporting gender transition surgeries for prisoners and migrants. Evidence showed that the Trump administration followed the same law.
Harris sympathized with the parents of young women killed in the US by immigrants, but didn’t accept blame as Baier pressed her to do. She repeatedly referred back to a bipartisan border security deal that failed to pass after Trump called on Republicans to tank it.
“We feel like we achieved what we set out to do, that she was able to reach an audience that had not been exposed to the arguments she’s been making on the trail.” said Brian Fallon, a top Harris campaign aide. She has to stand tall against a hostile interviewer.
“You and I both know that he has talked about turning the American military on the American people, he has talked about going after people who are engaged in peaceful protest,” Harris said. He talked about locking people up because they disagreed with him. In a democracy the President of the United States should be willing to handle criticism without saying that he would lock people up for doing it.
Trump told Faulkner that they were the ones doing the threatening. “They do phony investigations. Alphonse Capone was investigated more than me.
In a town hall with women voters that aired on Fox News earlier in the day, Trump doubled down on that statement, saying, “It is the enemy from within, and they are very dangerous; they are marxists and communists and fascists and they’re sick.”
She took every opportunity she could to mention those endorsements and made sure to reference former President Donald Trump’s recent remarks referring to Democrats as “the enemy within.” He has also said he might have to use the military to handle that enemy.
Harris ventured onto the openly pro-Trump network on a mission to reach moderate Republicans after earlier in the day appearing with more than 100 Republicans, including former Trump administration officials who have endorsed her.
As a new president, I will bring my life experiences, my professional experiences and fresh and new ideas, and it will not be a continuation of Joe Biden’s presidency. “I represent a new generation of leadership.”
Baier asked Harris a question she didn’t answer well in other interviews last week, what would she do differently from Biden. This time, she was prepared.
