I can't help but imagine that there's some internal polling that indicates an advantage to making this acknowledgment at this time. It doesn't mean he'll actually change (or that he won't) but rather just that there's some indication that it's to his advantage to suggest the possible shift in policy.
It seems to hint that he's trying to appeal to voters who have the difference in
the two plans as a deciding factor in their November vote and that his camp believes he can gain more votes with this than he would lose because of it.
