MILWAUKEE — After Republicans adopted a watered-down anti-abortion platform this week, leaders in the movement are setting their sights on what’s next: Finding the politician who will lead the party back to full-throated support for a federal abortion ban.
Defeating Democrats in November remains a priority for the anti-abortion movement, but activists are already beginning to discuss future election cycles.
Several names are being discussed for 2028, including Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders, Sen. Tim Scott, Sen. Marco Rubio and Donald Trump’s newly selected running mate, Sen. JD Vance, all of whom have indicated support for federal restrictions, according to a source familiar with the behind-the-scenes dynamics of the movement.
