Cobb County

Ivanka and Tiffany Trump visit metro Atlanta

ATLANTA — Donald Trump's daughters made an appearance together in Cobb County Wednesday evening, to try to win over Georgia women.

Polls show the vote between Trump and Hillary Clinton will likely be divided among racial and even gender lines in Cobb County, with the majority of men voting for Trump and the majority of women voting for Clinton.

Ivanka and Tiffany Trump were hoping to change that.

The sisters arrived in Marietta all smiles despite the big job facing them and their father's campaign.

"I'd love to hear from you all," Ivanka Trump told the crowd.

With most national and Georgia polls showing Trump struggling with women, the Trump daughters sat down for a conversation with metro Atlanta businesswomen.

"I can't say that I had any expectation for what it would be like to be the child of someone running for president of the United States of America. Zero," Ivanka Trump told the group of women.

The conversation ranged from lower taxes to health care, with no mention of their father's controversial comments about women.

"It's been challenging at times. It's a tough business, politics.  Not for the faint of heart," Ivanka Trump told Channel 2’s Justin Wilfon.

Across town, Wilfon found a group of Clinton supporters rallying on a street corner. They believe the Trumps' visit shows they're worried about not only winning women in Georgia, but the state as a whole.

"I think people have respect for Ivanka Trump, but the platform and the message has just been anti-women for too many months now," Clinton supporter Jacquelyn Bettadapur told Wilfon.

Back at the Trump event, the women told Wilfon that Ivanka's message won them over.

"I was really impressed with how engaging (it was). It was a conversation and I like that," Trump supporter JoAnne Reed said.
