“Women constitute the largest group of registered and active voters in the United States, so it is paramount that female voters understand where the presidential candidates stand on the issues that matter to them most,” Faulkner said in a statement, according to The Hill.
“I am looking forward to providing our viewers with an opportunity to learn more about where former President Trump stands on these topics,” Faulkner added.

From The Hill:
Fox News has extended an invitation to Vice President Harris to attend a similar event, the network said.
ADVERTISEMENTHarris has agreed to attend a live town hall hosted by CNN on Oct. 23 after Trump refused to accept an invitation to debate the vice president on that day.
While Trump has shown strength with male voters, polling has indicated the former president lags far behind Harris among female voters. Trump has repeatedly shrugged off the possibility that his coarse rhetoric or his role in the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade will hurt his standing among women.
An ABC News/Ipsos poll conducted after the Sept. 10 debate between Trump and Harris showed the vice president leading by 9 percentage points among women, 53 percent to 44 percent.

WSB-TV reports:
According to a news release from the network, polls show that the No. 1 issues with women in this presidential race are the economy, abortion, immigration, and health care.
“During the pre-taped one-hour town hall, Trump will discuss these concerns and others facing female voters as well as how he would address these issues,” the network said.
Trump’s opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris, has made abortion one of her No. 1 issues throughout her campaign and has been to Georgia several times to emphasize her belief that abortion is a basic fundamental right.
