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 passed by Congress. Vance argued that as the president, if you do not support a bill, you must ultimately veto it. Trump’s position on abortion policy has evolved over the years, with him previously calling for a 20-week limit on abortions in 2018 and celebrating the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade last year.
Trump had previously indicated in April that he would not sign a national abortion ban if it passed through Congress, but did not specify what he considered a “ban” to entail. In March, he hinted at supporting a 15-week federal abortion ban, stating that many people agree that this timeframe would be reasonable.
The independent candidate’s campaign threatens to disrupt the major-party race between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump, with Trump’s changing stance on abortion adding complexity to the political landscape. This latest information about Trump’s potential veto of a federal abortion ban sheds light on the ongoing debate surrounding reproductive rights and legislation in the United States.
