Description
On Monday, the Florida Supreme Court issued a number of significant
rulings that will impact abortion politics in the state. The justices
upheld a Gov. Ron DeSantis-backed, 15-week abortion ban that in one
month will trigger a far more restrictive 6-week ban. The justices
further ruled that Floridians will get a chance to vote on a
constitutional amendment come November that would reverse the ban and
make abortion broadly legal in the state. So, what does this mean for
the Biden campaign in a state where registered Republicans handily
outnumber Democrats? Florida Playbook author and politics reporter
Kimberly Leonard joins Playbook co-author Ryan Lizza to discuss.
