One of the rising stars of the Democratic Party was fighting Donald Trump over what she claimed to be the “lies” the former president had been telling the American people for years about his views on abortion rights.
Presumably the Republican Party’s choice to challenge President Joe Biden in 2024, Mr. Trump on Monday unveiled a film presenting his (present) position on abortion rights. He stated that he thought it should be up to the states to determine different and distinct criteria for abortion rights, but he declined to endorse a nationwide prohibition.
In response to moderator Kristen Welker’s claim that Mr. Trump was “straddling the line” on the matter, Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer appeared on Sunday’s episode of Meet The Press on NBC.
“Well, I think your phraseology, “straddle the line” is generous. He’s lied. He’s lied over and over again to the people of this country,” the governor stated.
“It’s very clear abortion is not just on the ballot in places like Arizona and Florida; it is on the ballot in all 50 states,” Ms Whitmer added. “The former president has said many different times that he would sign a national abortion ban, and that’s really a very real possibility that would undo all the progress we’ve made in states like Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky, et cetera.”
