It’s been called the “October surprise” that failed former president Donald Trump didn’t even see coming, mainly because it came from inside his orbit.
As part of promoting her upcoming memoir, former First Lady Melania Trump proudly declared that she’s pro-choice, a direct rebuke of her husband’s anti-abortion policies that could hurt him with just a little more than a month left until Election Day.
In an ad, Mrs. Trump states, “Individual freedom is a fundamental principal that I safeguard. There is no room for compromise when it comes to this essential right that all women possess at birth…What does ‘my body, my choice’ really mean?”
Those comments led some to suggest on social media that Melania may also be on the verge of endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris, which would be devastating for Donald.
While some may argue that Melania’s remarks are a calculated move to “soften” her husband’s anti-choice image, they once again bring the issue to the forefront, which is something the Trump-Vance campaign was hoping to avoid, especially since voters are already going to the polls in some states.
