Before settling on his new running mate, Donald Trump was reportedly worried about something specific: whether his choice would be seen as too far to the right on abortion rights. The Republican realized that the issue has been a real problem for his party, and he apparently feared the impact on his 2024 candidacy. NBC News quoted a source close to Trump in March saying, “He’s concerned it will have a drag on the ticket if they’re seen as holding too staunch a position.
In other words, the GOP’s vice presidential nominee isn’t denying his far-right views on abortion rights so much as he’s arguing that his far-right views on abortion rights aren’t especially relevant because he won’t be at the top of his party’s ticket. At first blush, that might sound vaguely reasonable.
