“The anti-abortion activists celebrating Donald Trump’s vow to vote no on Florida’s upcoming abortion-rights amendment have their sights on a bigger target: extracting a promise from the former president to staff his administration with staunch abortion opponents if he wins in November,” Politico reports.
“Trump’s rejection of Amendment 4 on Friday — 24 hours after criticizing the state’s six-week abortion ban — followed a public and private lobbying blitz from anti-abortion leaders.”
Playbook: “Among the wishlist for activists would be a list of judges he’d nominate or anti-abortion-rights advocates for top jobs. But the Trump campaign so far has not released any such commitments or responses to the entreaties.”
