Requires more attn. Trump got confused, thought he could vote in Florida to add a few more weeks to Florida's six week abortion ban. (not how it works). Then campaign put out statement that he still supports six week ban. https://t.co/FC8lwRduhY

NBC News reporter Dasha Burns on her X feed highlighted video of Trump telling her that he would vote to support the ballot initiative. He said, according to Burns, that he thinks Florida’s ban on abortion after six weeks is too restrictive.“I think the six-week is too short, there has to be more time,” Trump said.“So you’ll vote in favor of the amendment?” Burns asked.“I am going to be voting that we need more than six weeks,” Trump replied.Florida’s ban on abortion after six weeks of pregnancy went into effect in May. The statewide referendum, called Amendment 4, would alter the state’s constitution to protect abortion until viability, in effect negating the six-week limitation on abortions that Gov. Ron DeSantis signed.But shortly after Trump gave that answer during the Burns interview, his campaign released a prepared statement to Semafor attempting to walk it back.“He has not yet said how he will vote on the ballot initiative in Florida, he simply reiterated that he believes six weeks is too short,” said Karoline Leavitt, the Trump campaign’s National Press Secretary.Trump, the Republican nominee for President, has previously said he thought the abortion issue should be decided by states and supported the U.S. Supreme Court’s 6-3 vote in 2022 to overturn the landmark Roe v. Wade decision that legalized abortion in America.
It’s probably one of the least evil things he’s said, but this works for me. pic.twitter.com/6L99P9JEK7

That's the mildest one I've seen. By the way, this is called "asking the right question":Some of us understood the assignment and knew the question to ask to cause this.

Everyone else just kept asking the same question about a national ban only to get the same answer over and over. pic.twitter.com/KEVndUzs6G
Trump said:BERMAN: How would this work if a state bans IVF, but Trump says he wants to pay for IVF for everyone who wants it, how would that work?

JD VANCE: I think it's such a ridiculous hypothetical
B: You voted against guaranteeing access to IVF
VANCE: I voted for religious liberty pic.twitter.com/sU6ARpmBmw
"I'm announcing today in a major statement that under the Trump administration, your government will pay for or your insurance company will be mandated to pay for all costs associated with IVF treatment, fertilization for women."
Trump did NOT say: "I'm changing my policy/stance on IVF, or proposing federal law to make IVF legal in all states." These are two different things. Vance understood that; which is why he didn't answer the question.
Oh, by the way:
NEW: @KamalaHQ is launching a 50-stop bus tour focused on repro rights starting in... Florida.

Yes, in Trump + DeSantis' backyard. The same state that recently enacted a 6-wk abortion ban & has a repro initiative on the ballot.
NOT GOING BACK 💪🏾https://t.co/BDZiklbKO2
Yup.A reproductive freedom tour provides the excuse to campaign outside of swing states, where abortion is on the ballot, and at the very least help tie downticket races closer to abortion referenda. https://t.co/v1DxGb3wod

The guy is a chucklefuck, easily manipulated by an AI (and not very good at that) image. (Don't get me started on how "AI" is neither "artificial" nor even "intelligent.")Trump actually posted this. He thinks he is Superman leading the Justice League. pic.twitter.com/qAmx3ym5oV
