“More than 20 states now have full or partial abortion bans, and Trump says those policies should be left to the states to do what they want, including monitoring women’s pregnancies. “I think they might do that,” he says.” time.com/6972021/donald…

Trump on RFK Jr.: 'Well, I think he's a nice guy. I've known him. He's extremely liberal. He's more liberal than anybody...they say he hurts Biden. I'm not sure that that's true, and I think he probably hurts both. But he might hurt Biden a little bit more, you don't know.'
