Heading into the final stretch, former President Donald Trump prepared to face a pivotal demographic as he agreed to field questions from an all-female town hall.

Throughout the 2024 presidential election, the GOP leader has cast a wider net than typically seen by Republican nominees as he ventured into blue state strongholds. Now, as Trump set his sights on Coachella and a campaign-capping curtain call at Madison Square Garden, a pitch directly to women voters was planned alongside Fox News host Harris Faulkner.

“Women constitute the largest group of registered and active voters in the United States, so it is paramount that female voters understand where the presidential candidates stand on the issues that matter to them most,” said Faulkner in a statement detailing the event set to be taped Tuesday in Cumming, Georgia before airing during “The Faulkner Focus” time slot on Wednesday.

“I am looking forward to providing our viewers with an opportunity to learn more about where former President Trump stands on these topics,” she went on of the town hall from Reid Barn as she told viewers key issues to be discussed included, “the economy, abortion, immigration, health care, day care — child care, and more.”

“Women are not politically monolithic and want a thriving economy and safe communities,” said Caroline Sunshine, Trump campaign deputy director of communications, in a statement reported by Axios.

“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,” she added.

The town hall from the president was announced as CNN planned to host Vice President Kamala Harris for her own question and answer session on Oct. 23. That event had only been announced after the Republican nominee had declined to participate in a second debate with the vice president who had re-upped her clamoring from a rematch after the matchup between Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz had seen the latter outclassed, according to widespread opinion.

Throughout the election cycle, the Democratic Party’s nominee has marked a considerable edge where women voters were concerned. However, various surveys have found Trump either closing the gap or pulling ahead, especially in the critical battleground states.

With margins in every demographic making a difference, a recent AP/NORC poll found that Trump had gained ground among Hispanic voters, compared to the 65% then-former Vice President Joe Biden had secured in 2020 and the 66% won by former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, the vice president was only garnering 50% support during the final month before the election.

Social media users reacted to the town hall announcement with enthusiasm to see the former president fielding questions from women voters, set to run concurrent with other daytime programming like ABC’s “The View.”
