CNN —Donald Trump made an unexpected declaration Tuesday when probed about a six-week abortion ban that will soon take effect in his home state of Florida.
“We’ll be making a statement next week on abortion,” the former president told reporters in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
Other close advisers, however, have expressed concern that Trump will give further ammunition to Democrats by supporting any new restrictions on abortion.
“It was bound to happen at some point where he needed to clarify his position,” a Trump adviser told CNN.
Ron DeSantis was courting the state’s evangelical community by running to Trump’s right on the issue.
