Trump Shifts Abortion Messaging, Angering Both Right and Left

(Bloomberg) -- Donald Trump has said abortion is an issue best left to the states, complained about Republican messaging and avoided mentioning it in a speech accepting his party’s nomination. Conservative justices he appointed to the Supreme Court overturned in 2022 the federal abortion protections enshrined in Roe v. Wade. The softer approach to abortion messaging coincides with Kamala Harris cementing herself as a formidable candidate in the race. In front of evangelical Christians, Trump touts his success at appointing conservative justices who helped overturn abortion protections.
