Women’s issues are expected to come up in tonight’s Democratic presidential debate in Atlanta.
Ahead of the high-profile event, the group Women For Trump held an event in Sandy Springs on Tuesday night. The Empower Hour featured Trump 2020 Campaign advisers Kimberly Guilfoyle and Katrina Pierson. Guilfoyle told the crowd that women will show up in record numbers to reelect President Trump in 2020.
“When it comes to issues affecting these hard-working women, like jobs, accessing high-quality healthcare, or being able to purchase affordable prescriptions, women support President Trump’s agenda,” the former Fox News pundit said. “The President’s policies continue to strengthen and empower women, their families, and their communities in Georgia and across the country.”
The Democratic Party of Georgia responded to Guilfoyle’s comments in a statement saying women “have caught on to the countless lies and broken promises of this president.” The statement also decried what it called Trump’s attacks on women’s health care, and his economic policies have left women behind.
Wednesday’s debate will feature MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow, NBC’s Andrea Mitchell and Kristin Welker, and The Washington Post’s Ashley Parker on the moderator panel. The decision to have an all-female panel comes after previous debates were criticized for lack of discussion on women’s issues.
