Former President Donald Trump addressed various concerns raised by female voters during an exclusive town hall event ahead of Election Day. One attendee questioned him about crime and public safety in sanctuary cities, specifically referencing the murder of a nursing student in Athens, Georgia. Trump pledged to end sanctuary cities and prioritize law and order to ensure the safety of communities.
Crime and the economy emerged as key issues for Republican voters, with recent polling indicating Trump's lead over Vice President Kamala Harris in handling the economy. A Gallup poll revealed that 54% of Americans believe Trump is more capable of managing the economy, compared to 45% for Harris.
Another attendee highlighted the challenges faced by single parents, citing a significant decrease in the child tax credit. Trump emphasized his administration's tax cuts and promised to make adjustments to ensure fairness for all families.
Abortion was also a topic of discussion, with a participant questioning the government's involvement in women's reproductive rights. Trump expressed support for exceptions in cases of rape, incest, and the life of the mother, advocating for states to decide on abortion laws.
Trump maintained leads over Harris on immigration and foreign affairs, while Harris led on issues such as health care, abortion, and climate change, which are significant concerns for Democratic voters.
