In Roanoke, Trump says he will champion women AP September 25, 2016 1 minute read ROANOKE, Va. (AP) – Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is arguing that he’ll do more to help women from the White House than Democratic rival Hillary Clinton. As Trump campaigned in the battleground state of Virginia, Clinton stayed close to home in New York while preparing for Monday night’s opening debate. Trump told supporters at a rally Saturday in Roanoke, Virginia, that Clinton has not delivered for women and children. “My opponent likes to say that for decades she’s been fighting for women, that she’s been fighting for children. Why, then, are 70 million American women and children living in poverty or on the brink of poverty in our country?” Trump asked. “For years she’s been doing this and she’s done nothing.” Share: Post navigation Previous: Zoo deals with loss of accreditationNext: Sheriff’s deputy shot in leg, abdomen in Floyd County Related Stories Mill Mountain Zoo welcomes pair of Patagonian maras Web Staff June 19, 2026 Dr. Verletta White, Superintendent of Roanoke City Schools, to step down in one more year Gene Marrano June 18, 2026 Fire chief presents plan to replace 75-year-old Roanoke Fire Station No. 2 Ian Price June 18, 2026
