On June 13, former President Donald Trump addressed Republican lawmakers at the US Capitol, emphasizing the importance of the abortion issue in the post-Roe era. Trump argued that abortion has cost the GOP politically and stressed the need to handle the topic 'correctly.' He pushed for exceptions to abortion restrictions and framed Democrats as 'radicals' on the issue, claiming they support late-term abortions. Trump highlighted the GOP's stance as 'common sense' and advocated for discussing abortion as a state issue, following the reversal of Roe v. Wade. The meeting, aimed at building unity ahead of the November 5 election, could potentially give Republicans control of the White House and both chambers of Congress.
