Referencing his conservative picks for the US high court, Trump said that responsibility for the 2022 Supreme Court decision halting a federal right to the procedure falls on him.

Even though Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump did not mention the issue of a national abortion ban, he said today he still believed that the US states should be free to set abortion laws. 
 
In a video published on his social media platform, Trump said he supported abortion for exceptions for rape, incest and to protect the life of the mother while reaffirming his support for the option of in-vitro fertilization. 

In a possible attempt to attract voters from both political parties for the presidential elections, Trump did not say that he would seek a national ban on abortion if he came back to the White House. 
 
Referencing his conservative picks for the US high court, Trump also said that responsibility for the 2022 Supreme Court decision halting a federal right to the procedure falls on him.
 
In his video, he said "My view is now that we have abortion where everybody wanted it from a legal standpoint, the states will determine by vote or legislation or perhaps both," adding, "And whatever they decide must be the law of the land. In this case, the law of the state."

Trump did not name a week at which he would support an abortion ban.

Trump leads Biden in 6 swing states amid capability, economy concerns

A Wall Street Journal survey released on April 3 indicated that former US President Donald Trump leads in six of 7 swing states ahead of the 2024 presidential elections, despite profound doubts about Joe Biden's capacity to govern and displeasure with the economy.

The survey indicated that Trump leads Biden by 2-8 percentage points in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, and North Carolina on ballots that include and omit third-party and independent candidates.

In a different critical battleground state, Wisconsin, Biden leads by three points on multi-candidate ballots, but he and Trump are deadlocked when they are the only candidates on the ballot.

However, both are running for president with a "tarnished image," according to the survey. Biden has the highest negative opinions among voters, in part because he looks to be unable to hold together his 2020 coalitions particularly due to declining support among Hispanic, Black, and younger voters.
