In an easily missed moment during Wednesday night’s chaotic GOP presidential primary debate, Gov. Ron DeSantis said he would sign a federal 15-week abortion ban.
Wednesday's comment marked the first time since the launch of his presidential campaign that he said he would sign a national abortion ban.
The Daily Signal was the first to report and confirmed the governor's remarks.
The moment occurred during an exchange with Sen. Tim Scott, where he asked the governor if he would support a 15-week abortion ban. DeSantis said yes.
The moment was widely missed due to the moderators talking over the pair while the exchange was happening, trying to regain control of the debate.
I don't think Trump has that level of support anymore. Even Fox turned on him.
I hope you’re right, but that’s what everyone was saying 8 years ago.
He didn’t have the support in 2016, yet he became president. No one thought he could, I don’t even think trump thought he would win. You look at the video from his office on election night, and he looks like he just got a life sentence. And yet he won.
I’ll believe he’ll never be president again when he’s 6 feet in the ground.
He absolutely had support. Fox News was kissing his feet and Russia was influencing the GOP base in his favor.
Now even Fox has turned on him. A ton of his early supporters have abandoned ship.
I'm not saying this is a good thing. I would love for Trump to be the GOP nominee because he's way more incompetent than the others.
