Trump is not losing women’s votes: Rep. Laurel Lee | The Hill

THE DOWNSIDES AS YOU SEE IT? >> WELL, ALL-STAR HERE, I THINK ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS THAT HE DID TODAY WAS POINT OUT THE POWER IN VIRTUE OF DEBATE AND HOW SIGNIFICANT IT IS FOR ANY CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT TO GO THROUGH THE PROCESS OF DEBATING THEIR COLLEAGUES UP HEARING FROM THE PRESS ANSWERING QUESTIONS HAVING TO PUT THEIR POSITIONS OUT THERE AND HE MADE THE POINT LOUD AND CLEAR THAT THAT'S ONE THING THAT HAS NOT HAPPENED YET FROM KAMALA HARRIS. SHE HASN'T BEEN SUBJECTED TO ANY INTERVIEWS. SHE HASN'T SAT DOWN WITH THE PRESS AND I CAN TELL YOU THERE IS A BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN READING FROM A TELEPROMPTER AND DOING WHAT WE'RE DOING HERE TONIGHT, ANSWERING QUESTIONS FROM JOURNALISTS HEARING FROM THEM AND RESPONDING TO THE THINGS THAT ARE ON THEIR MINDS. SO I THINK MADE A VERY IMPORTANT POINT FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE TO THINK ABOUT, WHICH IS THAT SHE HAS TO A SHE HAS YET TO REALLY BE SUBJECTED TO STRONG, INTENSE, FAIR DEBATE FROM EITHER OTHER. DO ASK ONE OF TRUMP CAMPAIGN? >> LET ME ASK YOU SOME OF THOSE QUESTIONS. YOU'RE A SUPPORTER OF DONALD TRUMP, 2020 EXIT POLL SHOWED WHEN HE HE LOST WOMEN BY 11 POINTS IN THE KEY SWING STATES. THE NEW YORK TIMES POLL, CONGRESSWOMAN JUST RELEASED THE OTHER DAY. HE IS DOWN 15. DONALD TRUMP IS TO KAMALA HARRIS IN THE KEY SWING STATES AND DONALD TRUMP CLEARLY KNOWS THIS IS A PROBLEM BECAUSE KAMALA HARRIS TALKED ABOUT REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS LAST NIGHT AND TRUMP FELT FELT THE NEED. CONGRESSWOMAN, TO ADDRESS THIS FIRST THING TODAY. HERE WAS HARRIS LAST NIGHT. TRUMP TODAY AND I'LL GET YOUR REACTION ON THE OTHER SIDE. >> DONALD TRUMP HAND PICKED MEMBERS OF THE UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT TO TAKE AWAY REPRODUCTIVE FREEDOM. >> AND NOW >> HE BRAGS ABOUT IT. I'M VERY STRONG WOMEN'S REPRODUCTIVE THE IVF VERY STRONGLY THAT THEY LEADERS IN IT. >> AND I THINK PEOPLE ARE SEEING THAT. >> SO IF DONALD TRUMP ESSENTIALLY LEAD TO THE OVERTURNING OF ROE BY PUTTING THE SUPREME COURT JUSTICES IN INTO THE HIGHEST COURT, CONGRESSWOMAN ROE WAS OVERTURNED. >> HOW DO YOU THINK HE CAN FIX THIS ISSUE NOW WITH WOMEN? IT WAS A PROBLEM THEN AND IT'S A BIGGER PROBLEM. NOW. WELL, FIRST OF ALL, WITH THE SUPREME COURT DID WAS NOT TO MAKE POLICY ABOUT REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS. WHAT THEY DID WAS SAY THIS IS A STATE ISSUE THAT THIS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE DECIDED BY A COURT. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT THE PEOPLE OF THE STATES IN WHICH THEY LIVE SHOULD BE ABLE TO DECIDE WOMEN IN THE WOMEN BUT BUT WOMEN IN THE SWING STATES ARE SAYING, NOPE. AND THAT'S THE DONALD TRUMP MADE CLEAR THAT HE SUPPORTS FAMILIES, THAT HE SUPPORTS IT SO MANY OF THESEALKING POINTS THAT ARE COMING OUT OF THE HARRIS CAMPAIGN ARE SIMPLY INACCURATE PORTRAYAL OF WHAT THE SUPREME COURT DID AND WHAT DONALD TRUMP HAS SAID. AND I WILL SAY THIS WHEN I TALKED TO HIM, LOOK, I AM A SUBURBAN MOM AND THERE ARE SO MANY OF US IN MY DISTRICT. AND WHEN I GO OUT AND TALK TO MY VOTERS. >> THEY'RE CONCERNED ABOUT PRICES AT THE GROCERY STORE. THEY'RE CONCERNED ABOUT JOBS. THEY'RE CONCERNED ABOUT THE QUALITY OF THEIR CHILDREN'S EDUCATION. SO IT IS SO IMPORTANT THAT WE DON'T GET DISTRACTED FROM THE KEY ISSUES THAT AFFECT THE LIVES OF DAILY AMERICANS. AND AS MUCH AS THE HARRIS CAMPAIGN MIGHT WANT TO FOCUS ON THAT ISSUE, IT IS COMPLETELY A MISREPRESENTATION OF THE POSITIONS THAT PRESIDENT TRUMP IS TAKE IT. ONE. I DON'T THERE IS NO BETTER NUMBERS OF VOTERS. BBUT DONALD TRUMP IS SENDING A MESSAGE THAT WILL APPEAL NOT JUST TO WOMEN BUT TO VOTERS ACROSS AMERICA. THEY'RE CONCERNED ABOUT THE BORDER. THEY'RE CONCERNED ABOUT ECONOMY AND WE'RE STILL WAITING TO HEAR FROM VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS ABOUT WHAT EXACTLY SHE INTENDS TO DO FOR THOSE PROBLEMS. AND AS MUCH AS NOW IS ATTEMPTING TDISTANCE HERSELF, SHE'S BEEN PART OF THIS ADMINISTRATION. SHE'S BEEN PART OF THE POLICY THAT LED TO THE DISASTER AT THE BORDER AND THE INFLATIONARY SITUATION THAT WE SEE IN OUR COUNTRY. SO, YOU KNOW, WE NEED HER TO BE CLEAR WITH VOTERS ABOUT WHAT SHE INTENDS TO DO IN A POLICY SHE SUPPORTS. AND IS IT SINGLE PARENTS ARE. AND I WANT IS I WANT TO YOU WITH ALSO FEELS YES. I WANT TO LEAVE YOU WITH THIS JUST BECAUSE I'M RUNNING UP AGAINST TIME HERE. BUT >> WE LEARNED TODAY THAT 5 MEMBERS SPEAKING OF DONALD TRUMP, 5 MEMBERS OF THE U.S. SECRET SERVICE ESSENTIALLY BEEN SUSPENDED BECAUSE OF WHAT HAPPENED IN BUTLER, PENNSYLVANIA. YOU ARE ON THE BIPARTISAN COMMITTEE THAT IS LOOKING INTO ALL THIS. YOU'RE A PROSECUTOR BY TRADE. THAT'S WHAT YOU WERE BEFORE YOU GOT INTO OFFICE. AND I WONDER, CONGRESSWOMAN, IF YOU'RE SATISFIED WITH THAT RESPONSE. >> WELL, I THINK IT IS AN IMPORTANT FIRST STEP THAT WE HAVE A LONG WAY TO GO WITH THE INVESTIGATION OF THE TASK FORCE ITSELF WILL BE GOING TO PENNSYLVANIA THIS WEEK. WE'VE ALREADY HAD BRIEFINGS FROM LAW ENFORCEMENT AND BEEN NIGHT AND DAY GATHERING FACTS AND INFORMATION ABOUT WHAT WENT WRONG AND WHAT LED TO THAT SECURITY FAILURE. SO I DO THINK IT IS IMPORTANT. I DO EXPECT THAT THERE WILL BE SOME REFORMS WILL BE THINGS THAT WE NEED TO LOOK OUT THAT WE NEED TO FIX TO GET TO THE BOTTOM HOW SUCH A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE COULD HAVE HAPPENED. BUT THIS COMMITTEE, ALL OF U.S., REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS ALIKE, WERE VERY COMMITTED TO MAKING SURE THAT WE GET T
