One of his four active criminal cases is focused on hush money paid to a porn star who alleges she had an extramarital affair with Trump, which he denies. In May, he was found liable for sexually abusing the writer E. Jean Carroll and ordered to pay $5 million in her civil rape and defamation case. Trump has also been found liable for defaming Carroll in a similar separate case, which is nevertheless set to head to trial in January. More than a dozen women have accused Trump of sexual misconduct.

Omission of key information

Part of that split may be attributable to Trump's role in last year's hugely consequential Supreme Court decision striking down the constitutional right to an abortion that had been upheld by Roe v. Wade for nearly a half-century. The three conservative justices appointed by Trump all voted to strike down Roe. The ruling instantly became a rallying cry for Democrats, who went on to outperform expectations in the 2022 midterm elections. A large majority of U.S. adults still say they disapprove of the highly unpopular court's decision, recent surveys have shown. But the women's group Trump is addressing Friday has strongly cheered the decision, with Penny Nance, the organization's president, calling it a 'huge victory for human rights and life.'

And yet, national polls of the Republican primary field give Trump a commanding lead among both men and women. A Quinnipiac University survey released Wednesday, for instance, showed 58% of Republican or Republican-leaning women backing Trump in the presidential primary, compared with 64% of their male counterparts. Just 14% of women in the same group picked DeSantis, while 5% chose former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley, the only woman in the running for the GOP nomination. The poll also showed that while Trump and President Joe Biden are in a dead heat overall, the Democratic incumbent holds a double-digit edge over Trump among women registered voters: 56% said they would pick Biden in an election against Trump, who was chosen by 37% of respondents.
