FDP Chair Nikki Fried calls out Trump for ‘running away from his record on reproductive rights’

In an interview with NBC News, Donald Trump indicated that he does not support Florida’s 6-week abortion ban. In response, the Florida Democratic Party issued the following statement:

“Floridians know exactly how we got here,” said FDP Chair Nikki Fried in response to Donald Trump’s comments about Florida’s extreme 6-week ban. “Trump has repeatedly bragged about overturning Roe v. Wade and now, he’s attempting to run away from his record on reproductive rights because he knows that abortion bans are extremely unpopular. 

“Because of Donald Trump, Floridians are living under one of the most restrictive 6-week abortion bans in the country. It’s a dangerous ban with virtually no exceptions, which puts women’s lives at risk and threatens doctors with prosecution. The majority of Floridians opposed the 6-week ban, yet Ron and Florida Republicans were quick to sign it into law. 

“Florida voters won’t be fooled by Donald Trump’s lies. It’s time to hold every Republican accountable for enacting Florida’s extreme 6-week ban and the only way to do that is to vote yes on Amendment 4 and send Kamala Harris and Tim Walz to the White House in November.”
