Ron DeSantis criticized Donald Trump for implying that Florida’s new six-week abortion ban is “too harsh,” going after the former president as DeSantis prepares to challenge him for the 2024 Republican nomination. DeSantis was responding to a question Tuesday about Trump’s comments in The Messenger about the six-week ban that DeSantis recently signed into law. The rivalry between Trump and DeSantis is heating up as DeSantis nears a decision on a presidential campaign. “For my part, I disagree with President Trump about the heartbeat bill,” Pence told reporters Tuesday night after an event in Concord, New Hampshire. “We’re looking at a lot of different things,“ he said when asked by The Associated Press whether he supports a federal abortion ban.
