Description
Donald Trump’s new video outlining his stance on abortion rights offered
the clearest reminder yet that he is being simultaneously pulled in two
opposing directions. He wants the credit for appointing the conservative
justices who overturned Roe and wiped away constitutional protections
for abortion. What he very much does not want is the electoral albatross
that comes along with that reality. The result is a muddle that is
unlikely to satisfy anyone — though the Trump team seems to think it’s
the best political path available to them. National political
correspondent Meridith McGraw joins Playbook co-author Eugene Daniels to
talk it through.

But the level of engagement within Trumpworld this far out — that we didn’t necessarily expect. by POLITICO Playbook Daily Briefing
