Former president Donald Trump returned fire on Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) over his refusal to compromise on abortion policy.
Graham responded to Trump’s statement that his campaign’s official abortion policy should be a state’s rights issue, endorsing the idea of a 15-week ban.
Graham took to X to voice his disagreement with Trump:
“I respectfully disagree with President Trump’s statement that abortion is a states’ rights issue,” Graham wrote.
“Dobbs does not require that conclusion legally, and the pro-life movement has always been about the wellbeing of the unborn child – not geography.”

Trump quickly responded to Graham’s post on Truth Social:
“Senator Lindsey Graham is doing a great disservice to the Republican Party, and to our Country,” Trump wrote.
“At first he wanted no Abortions under any circumstances, then he was up to 6 weeks, where you’re allowed Abortion, now he’s up to 15 weeks, where you’re allowed Abortion, but what he doesn’t understand, or perhaps he does, is the Radical Left Democrats, who are destroying our Country, will never approve anything that he or the Republicans want,” the statement continued.
“They love this Issue, and they want to keep it going for as long as Republicans will allow them to do so.”
“Terminating Roe v. Wade was, according to all Legal Scholars, a Great Event, but sometimes with Great Events come difficulties.”

The former president then highlighted the lack of electoral success Republicans have had when facing Democrats on abortion.
“Many Good Republicans lost Elections because of this Issue, and people like Lindsey Graham, that are unrelenting, are handing Democrats their dream of the House, Senate, and perhaps even the Presidency,” Trump wrote.
Joe Biden has also been accusing Trump of endorsing a nationwide abortion ban.
Biden has spent millions of dollars on swing state ads accusing Trump of the abortion bam.
The former president argued that his stance on abortion is necessary in order to win national elections.
