ANALYSIS — Sen. JD Vance of Ohio and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz clashed during a frenetic Tuesday evening debate over a number of hot-button issues, again making clear voters soon will choose between widely diverging visions for the future of the country.
The Republican nominee called for policies to make the country “more pro-baby and pro-family,” while the Democratic nominee said reproductive decisions should be up to women and their doctors. But it was Trump, the GOP presidential nominee, who made the most news on the issue Tuesday night.
In an all-capital letters social media post, he declared: “EVERYONE KNOWS I WOULD NOT SUPPORT A FEDERAL ABORTION BAN, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, AND WOULD, IN FACT, VETO IT, BECAUSE IT IS UP TO THE STATES TO DECIDE BASED ON THE WILL OF THEIR VOTERS (THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE!).”
