Vance claims Trump will veto a nationwide abortion ban

Former President Donald Trump’s running mate, Ohio Sen. JD Vance, stated on NBC News’ “Meet the Press” that Trump would veto a federal abortion ban if Congress were to pass a bill. Vance noted that Trump has explicitly stated his opposition to such a ban, emphasizing that as president, he would veto any legislation he does not support. This position marks a shift for Trump, who in the past has advocated for restrictions on abortion, such as a 20-week limit during his presidency. However, in recent interactions, Trump has indicated he would not support a national abortion ban, stating “no” when asked if he would sign such a bill in April. Despite this, Trump has also expressed support for overturning Roe v. Wade and has suggested a 15-week federal abortion ban could be a reasonable compromise. Overall, Trump’s stance on abortion policy appears to be evolving, with him indicating a willingness to consider limits on abortion while still affirming a woman’s right to choose. This position has been met with mixed reactions, with some seeing it as a departure from his previous strong anti-abortion stance, while others view it as a step in the right direction towards finding common ground on this contentious issue.
