Trump Criticizes Six-Week Ban as 'Terrible'
Summary by NewsWall
- Donald Trump, former president and front-runner in the Republican primary, labeled a state abortion law signed by his top rival, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R), that enforces a six-week ban as 'terrible'.
- Trump refused and stated his intention to negotiate with Democrats on the matter.
- DeSantis quietly signed the six-week ban in the spring but has recently been discussing abortion more openly — causing concern among some Republicans who fear he has shifted too far right on an issue that could harm them in the general election.
- Nevertheless, the Florida governor declined to support the national 15-week abortion ban endorsed by some competitors, highlighting the political sensitivity of the issue for Republicans.
