New York Times Calls Trump 'Vague' On Abortion—But His Own Words Say Otherwise

After The New York Times called former President Donald Trump "vague" on abortion rights, President Joe Biden's campaign posted an ad and a video of Trump's own statements that say otherwise.

Earlier this week, the newspaper published an article by journalist Ruth Igielnik titled "Why Trump Seems Less Vulnerable on Abortion Than Other Republicans," in which she said that Trump "appointed judges who overturned Roe, but his vague statements on the issue may give him some leeway with voters."

Igielnik wrote that Trump "has held steady in recent surveys even among voters who favor keeping abortion mostly legal" and that he "seems to have effectively neutralized abortion as an issue during the Republican primary" because he "appears to be attending to general election voters by employing vagueness and trying to occupy a middle ground of sorts."
