The Australian’s Washington Correspondent Adam Creighton has weighed in on Donald Trump declining to endorse a national abortion ban.
“Basically Donald Trump denied Democrats the ability to have a huge scare campaign in the lead-up to the election,’ Mr Creighton told Sky News host Caleb Bond.
“They were really itching for Republicans to propose some sort of ban, whether it be after six weeks or 15 weeks or whatever it is.
“But Trump I think has been very clever politically and he said, look, let’s just leave it up to the states – that after all is now the law of the land in the US, following the Dobbs decision, which was June 2022 I believe.
“It’s really not such a crazy concept, so yes it makes perfect sense.”
