Republicans breath a sigh of relief at Trump's abortion announcement they can now hide behind in 2024: GOP lawmakers who backed a 15-week ban now say limits should be decided by states

Daily Mail  

Senator Lindsey Graham has increasingly found himself on an island when it comes to the issue of abortion as he continues to push for federal restrictions. Other congressional Republicans have fallen in line behind former President Donald Trump's newly publicized view that he believes ending a pregnancy should be an issue left to the states. Whether they fear the wrath of Trump or are simply relieved that Democrats' top messaging issue will no longer be an effective scare tactic in races, Senate Republicans - even ones who had backed a bill that would have instituted a 15-week federal ban - had high praise for the former president's statement.

Sen. Steve Daines, R-Mont., chairman of the Senate GOP's campaign arm, told DailyMail.com it is 'absolutely false to say Republicans support a federal ban' on abortion.
