Trump Criticizes Project 2025 For Being 'Too Severe' On Abortion

Former U.S. President Donald Trump holds a campaign rally in Hialeah

In a recent interview, former President Donald Trump expressed his disapproval of Project 2025's conservative stance on abortion, labeling it as 'way too far' and 'too severe.' Trump stated that the group, comprised of extremely conservative individuals, had put forth a list of proposals that he disagreed with, particularly highlighting their strong views on abortion.

Despite distancing himself from the conservative blueprint associated with Project 2025, it was revealed that approximately 140 individuals who had worked for Trump are connected to the group. Trump emphasized his belief that abortion legislation should be determined at the state level, rather than being a federal issue.

Trump believes abortion laws should be determined at the state level, not federally.

Notably, Trump has been vocal about his role in appointing conservative Supreme Court justices who played a role in overturning Roe v. Wade. His recent comments align with the Republican National Committee's revised platform, which has shifted its focus towards Trump and adopted a more moderate stance on issues such as abortion and same-sex marriage.

During the interview, Trump reiterated his stance that abortion should not be a federal matter and expressed his conviction that it should be left to individual states to legislate. He emphasized that he believed abortion 'would never be a federal issue again,' signaling his preference for decentralized decision-making on the issue.
