Donald Trump Blames Mid-Term Losses on GOP Politicians Who Passed Strict Anti-Abortion Laws

Former President Donald Trump railed against Republican lawmakers for their poor showing during the 2022 mid-term elections, claiming yesterday that they “poorly handled” the abortion issue. He claimed that by passing strict pro-life laws which did not allow for exceptions for rape and incest, they alienated voters and cost the party seats.

Trump made the comments on Truth Social while also criticizing voters who spent years fighting against abortion, and then as soon as they scored a significant victory in the overturning of Roe v Wade, “just plain disappeared” and did not show up to continue the pressure with their vote.

Trump has had a very schizophrenic view of abortion over the years, but his desire for exceptions is something he’s reiterated before, writing in 2019.
