Trump primary opponent and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis told an Iowa radio show that 'pro-lifers should know [Trump] is preparing to sell you out.'
By Jacob Rosen, Aaron Navarro, Cristina CorujoFormer President Donald Trump's GOP rivals are seizing on his recent comments on abortion as a political vulnerability, after he criticized six-week state"heartbeat" bill bans in Florida and other states and talked about working with"both sides" to find a compromise on abortion limits.
"In order to win in 2024, Republicans must learn how to properly talk about abortion," Trump said Wednesday at a rally in Dubuque. Two Republican governors who also signed six-week abortion bans, Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds and Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp, also pushed back on Trump's comments. Another rival, South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott, criticized Trump at campaign stops in Iowa and New Hampshire this week for suggesting he'd negotiate with Democrats to"walk back away from what I believe where we need to be, which is a 15-week limit on the federal level.
"Donald Trump even this last weekend said that a heartbeat bill passed in Florida was a terrible mistake and even blamed losses in the [20]22 midterm elections on the fact that we overturned Roe versus Wade," Pence said."I think the time has come for him to step forward and start talking not about the past, but about the future."
But he added that the criticism of Trump will matter if the field of candidates remains large and he maintains polling lead in Iowa and New Hampshire. Unless the field coalesces, even if six people have a stronger position on abortion than he does, no one's gonna benefit," he said. Tonya Miller, of Dubuque, said Trump"knows what to do," on abortion, adding,"We may not agree on everything.
