“As Kamala Harris, Donald Trump and their aides scheme out their strategies for this week’s much-anticipated debate, one big question is how the two candidates will approach a great strength for Democrats and a major weakness for Republicans: abortion rights,” the New York Times reports.
“Ms. Harris has made the issue a guiding light, and it has benefited her party at the polls since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022. Mr. Trump, who for years took credit for that decision, has tried to dodge its political blowback, making contradictory statements meant to help him appeal to voters turned off by total or near-total abortion bans in many Republican states.”
“The candidates are all but certain to clash over abortion on Tuesday at the debate, the first time that they will directly confront each other and contrast their visions for the reproductive future of America.”
