Former President Trump declined to endorse a nationwide abortion ban, stating that the decision should be left to individual states through votes or legislation, asserting that state laws on abortion should prevail.
Trump's announcement did not align with some expectations, as his stance on abortion may not fully satisfy the most passionate supporters of stricter abortion restrictions, such as a nationwide 15-week ban.
Trump credits the U.S. Supreme Court's reversal of Roe v. Wade partially to his appointment of three conservative justices, resulting in a 6-3 conservative majority, making abortion a significant issue in the upcoming 2024 presidential election.
