Abortion foes test sway over first post-Roe GOP presidential field

Former President Donald Trump beat Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) by nearly 30 points in the Iowa caucuses earlier this week after repeatedly criticizing the Florida governor for signing a law banning abortions after six weeks in the Sunshine State.
