➡️As Trump’s Poll Numbers Slide, He Panics.
onald Trump has struck a more moderate chord on abortion rights ahead of the presidential election, with one expert telling Newspeople he had been “pushed into this position” in the face of tight polling numbers.
The presumptive Republican nominee has previously made a number of statements about reproductive rights but has not confirmed whether he believes in a nationwide abortion ban. In January, he said he was “proud” to have appointed the Supreme Court justices who ruled to overturn Roe v. Wade in 2022, the landmark case that guaranteed abortion rights across the country for decades, in the case Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization.
In March, he voiced support for a specific limit on abortion, suggesting he would support a national ban on abortions at around 15 weeks of pregnancy.
Abortion is a divisive issue. Many Republicans wish to curtail abortions, with a more restrictive ban on abortions after six weeks of pregnancy set to go into effect in Florida next month. However, polls consistently show that most Americans believe abortion should be legal through the initial stages of pregnancy. Meanwhile, polls ahead of the 2024 presidential election are tight, meaning Trump may wish to adopt a conciliatory position to gain more votes.
