'Just stop talking about that': Trump snaps at reporter at polling place press conference
During an impromptu press conference at his West Palm Beach polling location, Donald Trump snapped at a reporter for pressing him on how he voted on one of Florida's most controversial ballot initiatives.
At issue is Florida's Amendment 4, which would prohibit any law that would "penalize, delay, or restrict abortion before viability or when necessary to protect the patient's health, as determined by the patient's healthcare provider. This amendment does not change the Legislature's constitutional authority to require notification to a parent or guardian before a minor has an abortion."
The former president has lately avoided saying how he would vote on the initiative, after saying in late August that he would vote against it, in an apparent attempt to avoid antagonizing or energizing either side of the highly contentious issue of women's health care rights with his re-election on the line.

He maintained that posture on election day, as the visibly exhausted and hoarse former president fielded questions about his re-election prospects.
With a multitude of reporters yelling questions at him, ABC's Lalee Abissa reported on X that the former president was, once again, in no mood to show his hand with abortion being a major issue in the 2024 presidential election.
On X, she reported that Trump was "asked for a second time how he voted on Florida's abortion rights amendment, and he snapped at the unidentified reporter: "Just stop talking about that."
