Biden campaign scolds news outlets for coverage of Trump’s abortion stance

President Biden's 2024 campaign scolded media outlets this week for their coverage of former President Donald Trump's stance on abortion in a press call.

During a Biden-Harris 2024 press call on Trump's position on abortion, campaign manager Julie Chavez Rodriguez, deputy communications director Brooke Goren and Kaitlyn Kash gathered on Zoom to respond to Trump's announcement.

"Trump kept his word to overturn Roe in his last term, and he will not rest until he has banned abortion across the entire country. Period," Goren said in her opening statement.

"We all know this and the coverage needs to reflect it. Yet today, we're still reading headlines that say Trump, quote, 'declines to endorse a national abortion ban,' that Trump, quote, 'rebuffed pressure to the campaign on a national limit,' that Trump, quote, 'decided to punt the politically fraught issue to the states and not back a national abortion ban.'"

Earlier that day, Trump explicitly affirmed his support for in vitro fertilization (IVF) and he emphasized his support for states determining their own laws for abortion so long as there are exceptions for rape, incest and life of the mother.

"The states will determine by vote, or legislation, or perhaps both, and whatever they decide must be the law of the land – in this case, the law of the state," Trump said in a video posted to Truth Social. "Many states will be different. Many states will have a different number of weeks…at the end of the day it is all about the will of the people."
