Former President Donald Trump made a bold statement at a Pennsylvania rally, positioning himself as a champion for women's rights. He claimed that if re-elected, American women would not be preoccupied with abortion issues. Trump dismissed reports that women do not support him, labeling them as 'fake news.'
During his speech, Trump emphasized his role as a protector of women, promising to end what he described as a 'national nightmare' for women. He assured the audience that under his leadership, women would be happy, healthy, confident, and free, suggesting that they would no longer need to worry about abortion.
On the other side of the political spectrum, Vice President Kamala Harris has been gaining significant support from women voters, particularly due to her focus on reproductive rights. Polls have indicated that while Trump maintains an advantage among male voters, Harris enjoys strong support from women.
Reproductive rights have emerged as a key issue in the presidential campaign, especially after the Supreme Court's 2022 decision to overturn nationwide abortion protections established in Roe v. Wade. Trump criticized Democrats for what he perceived as an excessive focus on abortion, suggesting that there are more pressing issues facing the country.
Trump's remarks at the rally echoed his earlier statements on social media, where he highlighted concerns about the well-being of American women. He pledged to address issues that he claimed have led to increased depression and unhappiness among women in recent years.
