DeSantis criticized Trump for calling Florida's six-week abortion ban 'terrible,' with DeSantis accusing his 2024 rival of being 'a different candidate' than 2016

Florida Governor and Republican presidential candidate Ron DeSantis speaks with ABC News Live Prime anchor Lindsey Davis during an interview, Sept. 20, 2023 in Midland, Texas.More broadly, DeSantis argued that Trump's rhetoric shows the former president is softening his stances.

"I think he's taking positions that I think are different from what he took in 2015 when he first came onto the scene. And I do think he's a different candidate today than he was back then. And I think the one back then was probably closer to where Republican voters want to be than the latest iteration," he said.

A Trump campaign spokesman said in a statement, in part: "President Trump's unmatched record speaks for itself." The spokesman singled out Trump's role in ending the abortion protections of Roe v. Wade, through his Supreme Court appointees, and added that "there has been no bigger advocate for the movement than President Trump."
