Former President Donald Trump on Monday made a long-awaited announcement on abortion policy, saying abortion should be left up to the states. He did not mention a nationwide abortion ban, which many of his supporters hoped he would endorse.
"My view is now that we have abortion where everybody wanted it from a legal standpoint, the states will determine by vote or legislation or perhaps both, and whatever they decide must be the law of the land. In this case, the law of the state," Trump said in a video posted on Truth, his social media platform.
