  • Melania Trump maintained her stance on pro-choice abortion, even though it differed from the Republican campaign platform of her husband.
  • According to Donald Trump, the decision on abortion access should be left to the states rather than the federal government.
  • Just a month before the Nov. 5 election, it was revealed that Melania Trump seems to have more alignment with Democrats on the issue of abortion.

On Sunday, Melania Trump maintained her stance in favor of abortion rights, even though it differs from the Republican party's stance, which was previously held by her husband, former President Donald Trump.

"The former first lady stated in a Fox News interview that she wants to make her own decisions about her body and doesn't want the government interfering in her personal life."

"She stated that she allows her husband to have his own beliefs and make decisions based on them, despite their disagreement."

On Thursday, Melania Trump publicly declared her pro-choice stance in a promotional video for her upcoming book, "Melania," which is set to release on Tuesday and will provide more details on her views on abortion.

The Republican first lady's stance on the issue diverges from both her party's stance and her husband's expressed views.

Donald Trump believes that states should decide abortion access, not the federal government. He has frequently praised and claimed responsibility for the Supreme Court's 2022 decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, which established a constitutional right to abortion.

In national polls, abortion consistently ranks as one of the least popular campaign positions held by the former president among voters.

Trump has recently tried to find a middle ground between satisfying traditional GOP voters and attracting undecided voters who could influence the November election outcome.

Trump announced in a social media post on Tuesday that he would veto any federal abortion ban if he gets reelected.

Just a month before the Nov. 5 election, it has been revealed that Melania Trump, who has been absent from the campaign trail, seems to share more views with Democrats on the issue of abortion.

In a Fox News interview, she stated that her beliefs were not a surprise to Donald Trump, as he had known her position and beliefs since the day they met.

The Trump campaign did not promptly provide a comment on Melania Trump's stance on abortion when CNBC requested it.
