Later, the 2024 presidential candidate claimed Republicans mismanaged abortion after getting what they wanted last June when Roe v. Wade fell.
These statements from Trump also mirror comments he shared during an interview with Breitbart News in late December 2022.
The former president expressed that Republicans who refuse to accept exceptions for rape, incest, and health/life of the woman when it comes to abortion bans will lose races in most of the country.
Finally, Trump suggested during his interview with Breitbart that he told Dixon and Mastriano they’d lose their elections over not supporting the three exceptions.
The national electorate on abortion
Political data and other evidence continue to show the majority of Americans do not favor total abortion bans with no exceptions.
While such bans are popular among the religious right, there are not enough voters who support this for one to win a national election running on these policies.
Towards the end of last year, voters in the conservative state of Kansas rejected a ballot measure that would have removed abortion protections from the state’s constitution.
