OAKS, Pa. Even some of Donald Trump s most die-hard female supporters wish he would sometimes just tone down his rhetoric.

I just wish he would God would help him be careful with what he says. I think he should think a little more before he makes certain statements that upset people, Joyce Cluley, 81, told HuffPost outside a Trump campaign stop in a suburb near Philadelphia on Tuesday.

And thats to say nothing of all the other women that Trump is hoping to convince to vote for him over the next three weeks.

Female voters are one of Trumps biggest electoral weaknesses; therefore, he is spending the precious final days of the campaign trying to repair his standing with women turned off by his years of ugly personal attacks and record repealing federal reproductive rights.

Fox News is scheduled to air a town hall Wednesday with Trump and an audience composed entirely of women, the campaigns latest effort to address the wide gender gap in polls showing Trump lagging badly behind Harris among female voters. According to a recent Pew Research Center poll , 52% of female registered voters support Harris, while 43% support Trump.

Its part of a push by both campaigns to shore up support from challenging constituencies in the deadlocked final stretch of the presidential race. The same day that Trump stopped in the Philadelphia suburbs, Harris stumped in Erie on the opposite end of the state at an event geared toward men. The vice president has released plans aimed at specifically courting Black men and is reportedly considering sitting down with comedian podcaster Joe Rogan, whose audience skews mostly male.
