Former President Donald Trump faced questions from reporters on Tuesday morning regarding his vote on a ballot referendum to expand abortion access in Florida. Despite previously stating his opposition to the abortion measure in August, Trump did not disclose how he voted when pressed by reporters after casting his ballot.
When asked if he voted against the abortion measure as he had indicated earlier, Trump did not provide a direct answer. Instead, he emphasized the importance of returning the decision on abortion to the states and reiterated his support for exceptions in cases of rape, incest, and when the life of the mother is at risk.
Trump's response to questions about his vote on the ballot measure was evasive, with him eventually stating, 'Just stop talking about that.' The former President has been vocal about his role in the overturning of Roe v. Wade and has at times struggled to navigate the contentious issue of abortion.
In August, Trump had declared that he would not support the abortion measure, only to suggest the day before that he might consider it. The issue of abortion has been a focal point in the current election cycle, with Trump's stance on the matter drawing significant attention.
