Former president Donald Trump suggested Monday that the politically volatile
issue of abortion policy should be left to states. In a video posted on social
media, Trump took credit for the overturning of Roe v. Wade and said it’s “now
up to the states to do the right thing.” Trump, who appointed three of the
conservative justices on the Supreme Court who overturned Roe, has wavered
between highlighting and downplaying his role in curtailing abortion rights.

ELECTION 2024

Get the latest news on the 2024 election from our reporters on the campaign
trail and in Washington.

Who is running? President Biden and Donald Trump secured their parties’
nominations for the presidency, formalizing a general-election rematch.

Key dates and events: From January to June, voters in all states and U.S.
territories will pick their party’s nominee for president ahead of the summer
conventions. Here are key dates and events on the 2024 election calendar.

Abortion and the election: Voters in a dozen states in this pivotal election
year could decide the fate of abortion rights with constitutional amendments on
the ballot. Biden supports legal access to abortion, and he has encouraged
Congress to pass a law that would codify abortion rights nationwide. After
months of mixed signals about his position, Trump said the issue should be left
to states. Here’s how Trump’s abortion stance has shifted over the years.
