Trump would veto legislation establishing a federal abortion ban, Vance says

Trump would veto legislation establishing a federal abortion ban, Vance says

Vance’s comments in an NBC interview come after Democrats spent much of their national convention in Chicago last week assailing Trump for his role in appointing the Supreme Court Justices who overturned Roe v. Wade. But efforts to try to neutralize an issue that Democrats hope will galvanize voters also risk alienating parts of Trump’s core supporters who are opposed to abortion rights.

Tim Walz, outdated laws were going to make it impossible for his state to reach its goal of 100% renewable energy unless things were changed. So he worked with legislators earlier this year to do just that, and developers and utilities now say they are expecting a significantly quicker process.

Walz’s exit from Minnesota National Guard left openings for critics to pounce on his military record
