Let's be clear. If Donald Trump talks about abortion, he's losing. He and his campaign would be much better off launching disparaging attacks on President Joe Biden on issues like immigration and the economy as the 2024 presidential race heats up.
But when it comes to talking about abortion, Trump gets defensive. So earlier this week, Trump tried this: put the problem to rest. Here's a very brief summary of how it went.
monday: After months of confusion, Trump finally stated his position Regarding abortion: Individual states must decide this issue. In terms of the election, Trump's states' rights stance seemed like the worst play out of his poor hands. The worst option seemed to be supporting a national ban of any kind.
Biden Campaign ran with ithanging All those horrible statewide abortion bans. Hanged around Trump's neck.
tuesday: Arizona's extremist Supreme Court upholds a near-total abortion ban that dates back to 1864. without exception Rape, incest or for maternal health (unless life is at risk)
Biden saddled Trump again with another harsh ban.
wednesday: erase, Arizona asked if she had gone too far.“Yes,” he said, “it will be corrected. And I am confident that the governor and everyone else will rationalize it again. I think it will be handled very well.” fast.”
No, Arizona Republicans answered. who instead Killed the Democratic Party's repeal effort. And then suddenly the National Assembly ended.
friday: Trump posted an urgent tweet calling for the Democratic governor and Republican-led Arizona Legislature to repeal the law. (Democratic Governor Katie Hobbs said repeatedly called for its abolition.)
“The Arizona Supreme Court has gone so far in ruling on abortion that it has enacted and approved inadequate laws since 1864.” Trump wrote To the truth society. “Now the governor and Arizona Legislature must use their heart, common sense and immediate action to address what happened.”
He added, “Remember that now it depends on the good will of the people who represent America and its people.”
And by “Lord,” Trump really means “I.”
Trump leaving it up to the states seemed like a good option on Monday, but it wasn't so clear on Friday. Trump is now in trouble for all the crazy moves made by Republican state lawmakers. As Arizona so exquisitely demonstrated. And while Trump implored them to take this issue off the table for him, the Biden campaign delivered a simple message:Trump did this.”
Overall, it's going to be a stellar week for Trump. Headed to trial Monday He was in New York to defend himself against a 32-count fraud conviction for paying hush money to an adult film star.
Trump's losing streak on abortion worsened this week after he released a video attempting to change his stance on the polarizing issue. What does this mean? This is bad news for the Republican Party, which is already in turmoil.
