Former President Donald Trump stood firm in his belief that the issue of abortion cost Republicans"dearly" in the 2022 elections. The comments came in his first public remarks on abortion since receiving criticism from conservatives.
"You just think about it," he added."Because people have to get elected, we have to get elected. But I did something that for 52 years people talked, they spent vast amounts of money and fighting it, but they couldn't get the job done. ... They couldn't get the job done. I got the job done. I got it done."
Trump then drew a direct comparison between himself and President Ronald Reagan, saying that both of them supported exceptions on abortion for rape, incest, and the life of the mother. Other positions had the danger of jeopardizing the Republicans' standing in elections, he warned. "But you have to follow your heart regardless, you have to follow your heart — can't do it for just the election," he said."But you have to follow your heart. The same time, we have to win elections. Otherwise, we'll be back where we were. In order to win in 2024, Republicans must learn how to properly talk about abortion."
