Female Moderators Are a Consistent Feature of Trump’s New Town Halls


Donald Trump’s advisers are trying to persuade him to embrace a smaller and more intimate campaign format, the town hall-style forum, in an effort to narrow the gender gap in his support. Since late August, Trump has participated in several town halls moderated by prominent women in politics and media. The campaign sees this as an opportunity to show a softer side of Trump and attract more female voters. Notable women who have moderated town halls for Trump include Sen. Marsha Blackburn and former White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders.

Despite Trump’s history of behavior and rhetoric that can alienate women, his campaign is making a strategic effort to appeal to female voters in the upcoming election. The town hall initiative is in contrast to the aggressive efforts his campaign has made to target male voters through podcasts and alternative media popular with young men. While the choice of friendly moderators ensures there are no tough questions, the town hall format has provided some awkward moments for Trump.

Overall, the town halls have been successful in showcasing Trump with a softer image and providing him with a more moderate platform to connect with voters. Despite an initial reluctance from Trump to embrace this format, he has reportedly come to appreciate the town halls and the positive publicity they generate. The campaign’s efforts are aimed at closing the gender gap in support for Trump and boosting his chances in the upcoming election against Vice President Kamala Harris.
