According to Rolling Stone, former President Donald Trump is telling his allies that if the court overturns the Wade decision, it will hurt his chances of winning reelection.
According to Rolling Stone, Trump has told his allies that the issue of abortion could hurt him.
Suburban women have been a recurring concern for former President Trump, including during the 2020 campaign, when his advisers were sounding the alarm to him about how he was losing suburbs.
He is worried that women in the suburbs will punish him for this one day.
Since the draft opinion was leaked, Trump has been quiet about it. Rolling Stone reported that he only mentioned it once during a rally, and that he has not mentioned it on Truth Social. Two sources told the media outlet that the silence is deliberate.
According to Rolling Stone, Trump has been telling allies that suburban women don't like hearing about the issue as they are more pro-choice than the mainstream of the Republican Party.
He has told associates that his enemies could use it against him in 2024 if he went too hard on pushing for the overturn of Wade.
A source told Rolling Stone that Trump said at a small gathering that some urban women don't like talking about it.
He once described himself as pro-choice. He said in 1999 that he was very pro-choice.
His position changed when he became president. He promised to pick judges for the Supreme Court who would overturn the Wade decision. Three of his appointees have reportedly agreed to the draft opinion.
Insider asked for comment from the post-presidency office of Trump.
