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.

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: Continue Reading Previous: Zoo deals with loss of accreditationNext: Sheriff’s deputy shot in leg, abdomen in Floyd County Related Stories 1 min read Recount done; Joe Cobb is Roanoke’s next Mayor Gene Marrano December 20, 2024 1 min read Virginia U.S. Senator weighs in on The Supreme Court taking up the TikTok ban Denise Membreno December 20, 2024 1 min read Businesses working with Roanoke City to avoid criminal charges on late tax payments Gene Marrano December 19, 2024
