'He only fanned the flames': Trump's latest campaign tactic shredded in new op-ed
Raw StoryFormer President Donald Trump's latest strategy to triangulate on the abortion issue is not going to help his 2024 presidential election campaign, Calder McHugh wrote for Politico on Monday evening. After weeks of speculation about whether Trump would endorse a federal abortion ban, Trump issued a video statement on Monday in which he dodged the issue and proclaimed abortion was up to states. What Trump really had to do here was stake out a middle ground position, wrote McHugh, and he didn't do that, instead making "wild claims" and "jarring descriptions" of how Democrats support executing babies, which is not true. Ultimately, Trump "believes that support for a nationwide abortion ban would cost him politically, so he’s jettisoned it," concluded McHugh.
