Former President Trump will participate in a Fox News town hall with exclusively female voters next week, seeking to broaden his appeal to a group he has consistently struggled to win over.
The event will be taped Tuesday in Cumming, Ga., and it will air Wednesday morning on Fox News. It will be moderated by Harris Faulkner, who has interviewed Trump multiple times, and the audience will consist of only women.
“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,” Faulkner said in a statement. “I am looking forward to providing our viewers with an opportunity to learn more about where former President Trump stands on these topics.”
Fox News has extended an invitation to Vice President Harris to attend a similar event, the network said.
Harris has agreed to attend a live town hall hosted by CNN on Oct. 23 after Trump refused to accept an invitation to debate the vice president on that day.
While Trump has shown strength with male voters, polling has indicated the former president lags far behind Harris among female voters. Trump has repeatedly shrugged off the possibility that his coarse rhetoric or his role in the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade will hurt his standing among women.
