Former President Donald Trump delivered a keynote speech at the Faith and Freedom Coalition's "2024 Road to Majority" conference in Washington on Saturday. Speaking to an evangelical group, Trump discussed his stance on abortion, which has drawn attention due to conflicting policy statements.

As the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, Trump carefully navigated the topic of abortion restrictions, recognizing that Democrats see it as a potential liability for the GOP in the upcoming November elections. He emphasized his belief that the decision on abortion should be left to the states, rather than endorsing a national ban.

Trump's views on abortion have evolved over the years, with him referring to himself as both "pro-choice" and "pro-life" at different times. Despite the differences with Christian conservatives who advocate for a national abortion ban, they remain a vital part of Trump's support base. Christian conservatives have particularly praised his nomination of three Supreme Court justices who voted to overturn Roe v. Wade in 2022.

The Faith and Freedom Coalition, which has actively supported abortion bans after the Supreme Court ruling, welcomed Trump for his ninth appearance at their "Road to Majority" conference. Ralph Reed, the founder and chairman of the coalition, commended Trump for his appointments to the Supreme Court, stating that he was a great friend of the organization.

During his speech, Trump urged attendees to encourage fellow Christians to vote in the upcoming election. He expressed his concern that evangelicals and Christians, who attend church regularly, often fail to exercise their voting rights. Trump emphasized the importance of their participation this time, urging them to vote in large numbers.

The former president also expressed his frustration with early and mail-in voting, which allows voters in several states to cast their ballots as early as September, rather than solely on Election Day. Trump also took the opportunity to criticize President Joe Biden, labeling him as "crooked," "incompetent," and "a threat to democracy."

With his signature catchphrase from "The Apprentice," Trump called upon Christian voters to turn out in record numbers and send a clear message to President Biden that he should be "fired" from office.

In his address to the Faith and Freedom Coalition, Trump highlighted the significance of the evangelical vote and urged Christians to actively participate in the democratic process. As the 2024 elections draw near, the former president continues to engage with his support base, navigating through the complexities of different policy positions to maintain their loyalty and enthusiasm.
