Trump, DeSantis Oppose Florida Abortion Amendment

Recent polling indicates that 55% of likely voters in Florida support Amendment 4, which seeks to enshrine abortion rights in the state’s constitution. Despite this, Governor Ron DeSantis and former President Donald Trump oppose the measure, with Trump reversing his stance from earlier comments. The state government is investigating the validity of petition signatures for the amendment, raising concerns of political motivations. National Democrats, including Vice President Harris, have launched a campaign to highlight the abortion issue and criticize Trump’s inconsistent positions. The outcome of this ballot measure could significantly impact both the presidential and Senate races in Florida, with current polls showing a tight race between Democratic Senate candidate Debbie Mucarsel-Powell and incumbent Republican Senator Rick Scott.
