Former president Donald Trump made life easier for Senate Republican campaign chief Steve Daines by finally announcing his 2024 campaign position on abortion on Monday after months of waffling, revealing in a social-media video message that he believes the issue should be left to the states.

Now, Daines is hoping to convince his new class of GOP Senate candidates to follow Trump’s lead in firmly and consistently stating where they stand on the issue, so that their Democratic opponents can’t define their positions for them.
