Donald Trump signaled that he could vote to end Florida’s six-week abortion ban when it comes up in a referendum later this year, as he continues his delicate dance around a key election issue.
In an exclusive interview with DailyMail.com he previewed an upcoming announcement on his voting stance by saying that he did not think six weeks was enough time.
But he avoided committing to using the presidential veto if a nationwide federal ban arrived on his desk as president even though his running mate said he would.
In office, Trump reveled in being the most pro-life president in history, taking credit for ending federal protections for abortion by installing the conservative justices on the Supreme Court who overturned Roe v Wade.
This time he is trying to keep both sides happy on one of the most divisive issues in the election by saying it is up to states to decide their own laws.
“Well, I do know, but I do want more than six weeks,” Trump said in his Mar-a-Lago living room. “I want more than six weeks. I think six weeks is a mistake. And I’ll be expressing that soon, but I want more than six weeks.”
