Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden’s blueprint will reveal how President Donald Trump has failed to deal with the issues related to women’s interest.
Biden’s campaign with vice presidential pick U.S. Senator Kamala Harris’ will also launch a nationwide “Sister to Sister” voter engagement program for Black women. It will also mark Women’s Equality Day on Wednesday — the 100th anniversary of the adoption of the 19th Amendment.
In the blueprint, titled “Trump has failed American women,” Biden slams Trump for disbanding the White House Council on Women and Girls. Valerie Jarrett, who co-chaired the council during the Obama administration, will play a role in Biden’s outreach.
The blueprint is the latest in a series that Biden’s campaign is releasing evaluating Trump administration policies and their effects on specific constituencies. A report earlier in the week examined the Trump presidency’s impact on young Americans.
Biden has pledged to create a new White House Council on Gender Equity if elected in November. Jarrett said the new council would allow the White House to “resume that important work.”
Biden’s campaign also says Trump’s efforts to weaken the Affordable Care Act have endangered women with pre-existing conditions, including pregnancy; criticizes the Trump administration for continuing to collect pay disparity data from medium and large employers only under court order; and denounced Trump’s Department of Education for rolling back Obama-era policies intended to ensure more rigorous investigations of campus sexual assault.
