President Biden will address reproductive rights in Tampa, Florida, on Tuesday, targeting former President Trump for his role in overturning Roe v. Wade. Biden is expected to criticize Trump’s appointment of Supreme Court justices responsible for the decision. The Biden campaign aims to highlight abortion rights as a top issue, using ads featuring women affected by state bans. Trump has attempted to distance himself from the issue, emphasizing states’ autonomy in determining abortion policies. Despite Trump’s efforts, Republicans face scrutiny for their stance on abortion, as polls indicate widespread opposition to bans.

President Biden is campaigning in Florida, where a ballot question on reproductive rights is expected to energize voters in November. The state’s Supreme Court recently allowed an abortion ban after six weeks of pregnancy, but voters will decide in November whether to amend the constitution to allow abortions up to 24 weeks. Biden and his campaign believe this measure could attract voters who may be more likely to support Biden as well. However, NPR’s electoral college map analysis rates Florida as likely to go Republican, making Biden’s victory a long shot.
