WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden's reelection team is preparing a nationwide series of events and an advertising campaign focused on the battle over abortion rights, highlighting what Democrats believe will be a potent political weapon against likely Republican nominee Donald Trump.
“In 2024, a vote for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris is a vote to restore Roe, and a vote for Donald Trump is a vote to ban abortion across the country,” she said. "These are the stakes in 2024 and we’re going to continue to make sure that every single voter knows it.”
Roe v. Wade was overturned by the Supreme Court's conservative majority two years ago. Trump has taken credit for the outcome because as president he appointed three justices to the nine-member court.
In addition, several political allies — including Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego and North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper — are hosting their own events focused on battleground states.
