Trump Strives to Balance Evangelical Support with Political Strategy on Abortion
Donald Trump is to address influential evangelicals who support him but want stricter abortion laws. Despite his judicial appointments leading to the overturning of Roe v. Wade, Trump's reluctance to endorse a national ban may impact his support. Evangelicals remain pivotal for his political strategy ahead of his 2024 presidential bid.

Former President Donald Trump is set to address a key gathering of politically influential evangelicals on Saturday. While these supporters stand firmly behind Trump, they are pressuring him to commit to more stringent abortion restrictions.
Trump's historical stance on abortion, including his reluctance to fully endorse a national ban, diverges from the views of many in the evangelical community, a crucial segment of his base. Despite his role in appointing three Supreme Court justices who overturned Roe v. Wade, Trump argues that supporting a national ban could be politically detrimental for Republicans.
With white evangelical Christians making up a significant portion of his electorate, Trump's balancing act reflects broader Republican concerns about navigating the complex political landscape surrounding abortion ahead of the 2024 election.
