Trump rallies his base on bolstering health care, avoiding thorny questions about health rights
WASHINGTON — In a far-ranging, free-wheeling 90-minute acceptance speech for the Republican nomination to the presidency, former President Trump hit the populist highlights: Americans will have faster access to new medicines, real answers for cancer and Alzhiemer’s disease, and better Medicare in his second term, he claimed.
But aside from a passing comment about womens’ sports, Trump stayed away from a growing effort by GOP lawmakers to limit transgender peoples’ rights and bar gender-affirming care. He also did not mention abortion , reflecting his campaign’s effort to distance Trump from increasingly unpopular bans that have alienated voters in key states.
