Trump won't say how he voted on Florida abortion issue: 'Stop talking about it'

After the vote in his home state of Florida, he became the Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump declined to say how he voted on the state abortion measure.

Trump voted in Palm Beach, Florida, near his Mar-a-Lago club on Tuesday and said afterwards he was “very confident.”

The former president was then asked twice about how he voted to Florida's Amendment 4.

If approved, the measure would prevent state lawmakers from passing a law that penalizes, bans, delays or restricts abortion until the fetus is viable. If rejected, the state's restrictive six-week abortion law would remain in place.

According to the Associated Press, Trump avoided answering when first asked. He said instead of the issue that he had “done a great job bringing it back to the states,” citing his Supreme Court decisions that helped overturn Roe v. Wade in 2022.

When asked a second time, Trump told the reporter, “You should stop talking about it.”
