Trump's Positions Himself as Moderate on Abortion for 2024 Run to the Dismay of Hardline Anti-Abortion Groups

  • last year
Former President Donald Trump is planning to position himself as a moderate on abortion for a potential 2024 presidential run. Critics find Trump's attempt to be seen as a moderate laughable, as he is currently running campaign ads taking credit for the destruction of Roe v. Wade. The GOP has faced political consequences following the end of Roe v. Wade, with voters in conservative states voting against abortion restrictions. Anti-abortion groups have been pressuring Trump to commit to advancing their agenda, but he has been hesitant to take a clear stance, angering organizers. Trump believes even Republican voters do not want a national abortion ban and has criticized conservative activists for being too extreme on the issue.
