Lara Trump Defends Father-in-Law's Support for Women

Lara Trump has publicly declared her father-in-law, President-elect Donald Trump, as a 'champion of women,' asserting that he played a significant role in her success. She emphasized that Trump values individuals based on their capabilities rather than their appearance, religion, gender, or sexual orientation. Citing strong women in Trump's administration, such as Susie Wiles and Karoline Leavitt, Lara insists these examples highlight his commitment to empowering women. Despite Trump's gains among male voters, he has struggled to attract female support, with Vice President Kamala Harris leading among women voters prior to the election. Lara expressed her belief that the first female president will be a Republican, but cautioned against using gender as a campaign platform, referencing the backlash against Hillary Clinton's candidacy. Overall, she aims to promote Trump's accomplishments and strengthen his appeal to female voters as he prepares for his second inauguration.
