I think there’s a shift. This was a — this is a party, Geoff, that for every four years in the platform, the language has been there, we need to have strict rules against abortion. They wanted Roe v. Wade repealed.

This year, as you know, the language has been very much downplayed. Donald Trump’s position is, it’s in line with what the Dobbs decision, the court’s — the Supreme Court ruling, the Dobbs decision, leave it up to the states.

And in talking to delegates last weekend — we talked to a group of six delegates from across the country — all but one of them said that they were perfectly comfortable with abortion being left to the states. That’s a significant shift. And some of them, I know, are individuals — in fact, they said to us, in their own view, in the past, they felt that there should be more government regulations about abortion.

It’s another, I think, reminder of just how much Donald Trump and his personal views have injected themselves into the belief system of Republicans who have shown up at this convention.
