Former President Donald Trump will join Fox News’ Harris Faulkner this week for a town hall meeting, specifically to address American women. He has an opportunity to reintroduce himself as a thoughtful leader, who understands their problems and has a plan for making their situations better.
Women care about more than just abortion. Here are seven topics that women will want to hear covered:
1) Better times are coming: Trump already knows how rising costs have impacted families. Yet, he should keep in mind how women in particular experience inflation. Mothers go to grocery stores multiple times each week. We buy gas, kids’ clothes and school supplies. We feel those higher prices, and it makes each day a little harder. Increasing the supply of energy, reducing taxes and eliminating wasteful government spending are all important policies because they will bring prices down and give women breathing room in their budgets.
2) We need a champion for better, more flexible and diverse job opportunities: Today, a majority of women — particularly women over age 45 — worry about their financial prospects. They worry that if they lose their jobs, no one will interview them and that they will never earn as much again. They worry about whether they will be able to afford to retire. Women also worry that their elderly parents won’t be able to handle an unexpected expense and their adult children will never be able to afford a home of their own. The Biden-Harris administration has been strangling job creators with red tape. They are pushing to eliminate flexible work, like independent contracting jobs that are critical for women, especially caregivers and older women or those with health issues. A Trump administration will prioritize protecting flexible work and entrepreneurship.
3) We need transparency in healthcare: As president, Trump signed an executive order to require hospitals and insurance companies to disclose all of their prices so that consumers could make informed decisions before getting treatment. Economists estimated this policy could bring down healthcare costs by $1 trillion per year if fully implemented. The Biden administration has been delaying, rolling back and undermining these reforms. A Trump administration needs to enforce this rule and require systemwide transparency so people don’t have to worry about surprise medical bills, and to lower the costs of care through competition and choice.
