Biden says Trump will ban abortion: ‘No one trusts Donald Trump’

President Joe Biden lashed out at Donald Trump’s announcement Monday that abortion should be left up to the states and warned of consequences should Trump win in November.

“No one trusts Donald Trump,” Biden said, pointing to how the former president made a “political deal” with the anti-abortion right.

The president went on to say that his predecessor’s lack of endorsement for a national ban was an illusion. “If they put one on his desk, he said he’d sign it.”

Biden made his remarks during a high-end fundraiser in Chicago featuring about 50 friends and donors, including Bill Daley, former chief of staff to President Barack Obama.

Biden’s campaign was ready to face Trump on abortion soon after he posted his announcement on his social media platform Monday morning. Democrats have been warning for months that abortion will be central to the general election, and the former president’s announcement gave them a fresh reason to talk about the issue.

“Trump’s in trouble and he knows that. Just today he released a video where he’s scrambling on the abortion issue,” Biden said during the Chicago event. “He’s worried voters are going to hold him accountable for overturning Roe v. Wade, and for the cruelty and chaos that it’s created … Voters are going to hold him accountable for the extreme six-week bans.”
