"Two groups of voters who cast their ballots for Trump in 2024 have begun to wonder if they got what they were hoping for and expecting: pro-life activists opposed to abortion and those who hoped Trump would be a different kind of Republican on foreign policy than we have seen for most of the past quarter century, avoiding forever wars."
"But after a campaign in which Trump successfully triangulated on abortion, even watering down the longstanding pro-life plank in the Republican platform, he has been weaker on the issue than your average post- Roe GOP president. He has been soft on the abortion pill mifepristone. He has even urged Republican lawmakers to be "flexible" on the Hyde Amendment, which bans taxpayer funding for most abortions, when it comes to passing legislation dealing with the expired Obamacare subsidies."
María Corina Machado gave President Donald Trump her Nobel Peace Prize, creating a provocative symbolic gesture. Two groups of 2024 Trump voters — pro-life activists and voters seeking a less interventionist foreign policy — express growing disappointment. Trump has taken some pro-life steps, issued orders, and helped shape a Supreme Court majority that overturned Roe v. Wade. At the same time, Trump has shown flexibility on mifepristone regulation and the Hyde Amendment, causing concern among pro-life supporters. On foreign policy, an initial avoidance of prolonged wars has given way to actions interpreted as regime-change oriented.
