Trump vows to protect women whether they want it or not at Wisconsin rally

Donald Trump stated at a Wisconsin rally that he would protect women "whether they like it or not," a comment that may alienate female voters. He emphasized his commitment to women's safety from various threats, despite advice from his team to avoid the statement. Vice President Kamala Harris criticized Trump's remarks as offensive, arguing they undermine women's autonomy and decision-making. She highlighted the comments as part of a pattern reflecting Trump's views on women. Polls show a significant gender gap, with women more likely to support Harris. Harris has focused on abortion rights in her campaign, linking Trump to the 2022 overturning of Roe v. Wade and subsequent state restrictions.
