Donald Trump is trying to make the case that he'll do more to help women if he's elected to the White House than rival Hillary Clinton.

The appeal came hours after Trump threatened in a tweet to invite a woman who had an affair with his rival's husband, former President Bill Clinton, to sit in the first row at Monday's presidential debate.

Speaking in Roanoke, Virginia, Trump told supporters that Clinton likes to say she's been fighting for women and children for decades. He then asked why 70 million women and children are in poverty or on the brink of poverty.

Clinton co-founded the Arkansas Advocates for Children & Families early in her career and delivered a seminal speech as first lady declaring that "women's rights are human rights."

Trump has been criticized for crass comments he's made about women over the years.

Clinton's campaign says the pastors told her the city would come together to rebuild trust between the police department and community. Charlotte police have released body and dashboard camera footage of the shooting.

Clinton is expected to travel to Charlotte on Oct. 2.
