Ahead of the Trump campaign’s bungled bus tour kick off in Maine yesterday, the Maine Democratic Party hosted leaders from across the state to call out Donald Trump’s broken promises to women. Read more below:

WABI: “Maine Democratic Party Chair Kathleen Marra said of the situation, in part, ‘While the rest of the country deals with the fallout from Trump’s failed coronavirus response, the Trump campaign can’t even get a photo op right.’”

Portland Press Herald: Women for Trump make campaign stop in Old Orchard Beach. “Earlier Wednesday, the Maine Democratic Party held a virtual round-table discussion with state party Chairwoman Kathleen Marra, Sen. Cathy Breen, D-Falmouth, and Rep. Lois Reckitt, D-South Portland, to highlight the ways the president has broken his promises to women in the U.S. during his term in office.”

• “Breen detailed myriad areas where Trump had disappointed and let down Maine women, from his opposition to the Affordable Care Act to his poor response in preparing the nation for the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Breen called Trump’s slow response to the virus ‘a complete and utter dereliction of duty.’”

• “She also said Trump’s nominees to federal courts, including the U.S. Supreme Court, were opponents to reproductive rights, and women in Maine are concerned that could lead to the court overturning a women’s right to reproductive health care, including abortions.”

• “‘Before he entered office, Trump repeatedly promised that he would ‘do more for women than anybody else’ and look out for their reproductive health and their personal safety,’ Marra said. ‘Over the course of the last three and a half years, Trump has repeatedly broken that promise. His policies on health care, reproductive rights, workplace issues and sexual assault are a disaster for women.’”

WMTW: ‘Women for Trump’ event draws supporters and protesters to OOB. “Hours before the event, Maine Democrats held a virtual event hosted by part chair Kathleen Marra to discuss what they call ‘Trump’s Broken Promises to Women.’”

• “‘Joe Biden doesn’t make empty promises about doing more to help women. He takes action. When we restore the soul of the nation to the White House with President Joe Biden you can rest assured he will do everything in his power to address issues important to Maine women,’ Marra said.”

WGME: Trump campaign makes stop in Old Orchard Beach before leaving for New Hampshire. “‘Rather than enlist and use all the tools the president has at his disposal, he has absolutely put his head in the sand and that has had a disproportionate effect on women and women in Maine,’ Maine Senator Cathy Breen said. ‘As we know, women are the vast majority of direct care workers, especially [women] of color.’”

WCSH: Freeport brewery cancels Women for Trump event after supposedly being misled by campaign. “In response to the event confusion, Maine Democratic Party Chair Kathleen Marra released the following statement: ‘While the rest of the country deals with the fallout from Trump’s failed coronavirus response, the Trump campaign can’t even get a photo op right. As they spin their wheels to explain away Trump’s attempts to strip health coverage from thousands of Maine women, his efforts to undermine reproductive rights, and his regulations designed to turn our schools back to a time when sexual assault and harassment were swept under the rug, Maine women will be waiting to vote him out come November.’”

WMTW: ‘Women for Trump’ campaign stop moved to OOB after Freeport brewery claims it was misled about event. “Maine Democratic Party Chair Kathleen Marra said of the situation, in part, ‘While the rest of the country deals with the fallout from Trump’s failed coronavirus response, the Trump campaign can’t even get a photo op right.’”

The Hill: Maine brewery cancels Women for Trump event, claims it was misled by campaign. “Maine Democratic Party Chair Kathleen Marra poked at the Trump campaign in a statement on the matter, saying, ‘While the rest of the country deals with the fallout from Trump’s failed coronavirus response, the Trump campaign can’t even get a photo op right.’”
