Trump and DeSantis' Stances on Abortion: A Balancing Act

Donald Trump is positioning himself as a moderate on abortion to improve the Republican Party's chances in the 2024 elections. Ron DeSantis is embracing a hardline stance on abortion to draw a contrast with Trump and position himself as an alternative in the 2024 race. Anti-abortion activists are concerned about Trump's comments on abortion and the potential for others to adopt positions that stray from their cause. Trump is attempting to find a compromise on abortion that satisfies his base while maintaining public support.
