Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) and former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie sparred on abortion policy during the 2024 election Republican primary debate on Wednesday night in California.
DeSantis stood behind the ban on abortion after six weeks gestation that he signed into law in Florida, saying that he has the capacity to win swing voters"by leading with purpose and conviction.“I reject this idea that pro-lifers are to blame for midterm defeats,” DeSantis said, as part of an answer to a moderator’s question about how he would win over pro-abortion-rights voters in swing states such as Arizona.
"The former president [is] missing in action tonight. He's had a lot to say about that. He should be here explaining his comments to try to say that pro-life protections are somehow a terrible thing," DeSantis said."I want him to look into the eyes and tell people who've been fighting this fight for a long time."
Christie also took a solid stance against abortion, stressing a track record of bridging the partisan divide on the controversial social issue.
