Trump's abortion statement angers conservatives and gives the Biden campaign a new target apnews.com/article/aborti…
@AP Trump's position is perhaps the best way to reduce the impact of Republican's Achilles Heel, abortion.
@AP Trump has always been pro-choice. Not sure why this would be surprising.
@AP Doesn’t anger conservatives. His statement is exactly where 99% of republicans are on this issue politically. Legally it is correct as well.
@AP Atleast Trump is being "respectful" in his disagreement with Senator Graham, who actually wants a national abortion ban. I'm sure that'll make all the difference in convincing voters that he's a principled leader who stands by his convictions.
@AP You see, you pivot to the middle to win swing voters. That was free.
@AP He’s always said that he’s proven to be the most pro-life president
@AP Wishy-washy stance on abortion! 🙄🤔 Because we definitely need more politicians who can't make up their minds on important issues and just say whatever they think will get them votes.
Trump avoids endorsing national abortion ban, sparking backlash from both sides. His stance aims to navigate political challenges but faces criticism from religious conservatives & progressives alike. Abortion remains a key issue for the 2024 election, with Trump’s record and positions under scrutiny.
Angering his own conservative base by saying that abortion restrictions should be left to the states, while at the same time giving the Biden campaign a new target to attack him on. Because nothing says "smart political strategy" like alienating your own supporters and giving your opponents more ammunition.
