One-Hour Town Hall to Feature All-Female Audience in Cumming, Georgia and Air on “The Faulkner Focus” at 11 AM/ET

FOX News Channel’s (FNC) Harris Faulkner will present a town hall with Republican presidential candidate former President Donald Trump focusing on issues impacting women ahead of the election and news of the day at Reid Barn in Cumming, Georgia. The event, which will be held with an audience entirely composed of women, will pre-tape on October 15th and air on October 16th on The Faulkner Focus (11 AM-12 PM/ET). FOX News has a standing invitation to Vice President Harris for a townhall event of equal stature which has been extended to her campaign multiple times since she became a candidate for president in August.

In commenting on the town hall, Faulkner said, “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. I am looking forward to providing our viewers with an opportunity to learn more about where former President Trump stands on these topics.”

According to a September 2024 FOX News poll, the top issues impacting female voters are 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.

Faulkner joined FNC in 2005 and currently serves as the anchor of The Faulkner Focus and a founding co-host of Outnumbered. At 11 AM/ET, The Faulkner Focus features interviews with top newsmakers and analysts and is cable news’ most-watched program in the timeslot, averaging nearly 2 million viewers. Outnumbered features an ensemble of four female panelists and one male breaking down the day’s headlines from all perspectives and dominates the competition at 12 PM/ET with 1.8 million viewers. Both programs outpace broadcast program’s NBC’s TODAY Third Hour, TODAY with Hoda & Jenna, The Kelly Clarkson Show, NBC News Daily, ABC’s GMA3, CBS’ The Talk and The Drew Barrymore Show.

As the first Black woman to helm back-to-back weekday cable news programs, Faulkner has also played integral roles in FNC’s election coverage over the last several cycles. She is the lead of the network’s “Voter’s Voices” segments and recently presented a series titled, ”Families in Focus,” where she interviewed the family members of the then-presidential candidates during the 2024 primaries. Additionally, Faulkner has hosted a variety of primetime specials and townhalls focused on current events, including forums focused on policing in America, the ongoing conversation of justice in the country and education during the COVID-19 pandemic, among other topics.

In June 2020, Faulkner presented the first one-on-one cable news interview with then-President Donald Trump following the murder of George Floyd. The sit-down, which was her second interview with Trump, focused on the civil unrest following George Floyd’s death in police custody and the president’s stance on civil rights. She also conducted the last interview with Trump on July 13 a few hours before the attempted assassination on him in Butler, PA.

A six-time Emmy Award winner and New York Times bestselling author, Faulkner has also been featured as one of AdWeek’s “Women Trailblazers” in 2020 and named to WORTH Magazine’s "Groundbreakers" list, which honors 50 influential women worldwide for breaking barriers in their industries. In May 2021, Faulkner was honored by Variety’s New York Women’s Impact Report and in November 2021, the Multicultural Media and Correspondents Association honored Faulkner as Its Broadcast Journalist of the Year. Additionally, Harris received the 2023 P.O.W.E.R. Women of the Year Award and recently was honored by She Leads America with the Congressional Christian Women of Distinction Award.
