“I think they’re all going to like me,” he said. “I think both sides are going to like me.”
During his wide-ranging interview with moderator Kristen Welker, parts of which appeared on NBC “Meet the Press,” Trump seemed to seek wiggle room on an issue that has plagued Republicans at the ballot box since the Supreme Court overturned the landmark Roe v. Wade decision last year.

Trump declined to endorse a standard number of weeks after which abortion would be illegal, with some exceptions, and he similarly refused to say whether he feels the issue would be best settled at the state or federal level.
"We’re going to agree to a number of weeks or months or however you want to define it," Trump said. "And both sides are going to come together and both sides — both sides, and this is a big statement — both sides will come together. And for the first time in 52 years, you’ll have an issue that we can put behind us."
In response, Welker asked whether such an agreement would take place at the federal level.
"It could be state or it could be federal," Trump said. "I don’t, frankly, care."
