Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said on Friday he would vote against an amendment in his home state of Florida that would enshrine abortion rights in the state’s constitution and overturn a current six-week abortion ban.

Trump made the comments to Fox News, a day after he caused confusion when he seemed to suggest in an interview with NBC News that he would vote in favor of the amendment.

The amendment is strongly opposed by the anti-abortion groups that have backed his campaign in the Nov. 5 election against Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris.

“I think six weeks, you need more time than six weeks,” Trump said, adding he also believed the proposed amendment was too permissive.

“So I’ll be voting no for that reason,” said Trump, who has also indicated the matter should be decided by individual states.

    I thought he already voted. There were articles arguing it may have been done illegally depending on the sentence he receives.

    Am I correct in concluding he’ll vote again for state ballots so just early voting for the Press?
