Description

Kansas voters last night decisively rejected an anti-abortion constitutional amendment. It was the first time voters have cast ballots on the issue since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade – and last night’s vote was closely watched for what it could tell us about broader American sentiment on abortion rights.

Plus, how to fireproof a home.

And, Taiwan reacts to Pelosi’s visit.

Guests: Axios' Oriana Gonzalez and Bethany Allen-Ebrahimian and NPR's Lauren Sommer.
Credits: Axios Today is produced by Niala Boodhoo, Sara Kehaulani Goo, Alexandra Botti, Nuria Marquez Martinez, Lydia McMullen-Laird, Alex Sugiura, and Ben O'Brien. Music is composed by Evan Viola.
