In Roanoke, Trump says he will champion women AP September 25, 2016 1 min 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 2 min read From Red Sox to RidgeYaks: Salem’s minor league team unveils new identity Ian Price November 8, 2025 1 min read Roanoke airport feels effects of longest U.S. government shutdown Web Staff November 7, 2025 1 min read Huddle Up Moms co-founder honored as Social Entrepreneur of the Year by JA Gene Marrano November 6, 2025
