April 9, 2024: Trump tries to have it both ways on abortion

9 min • 9 april 2024

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.
