Macca and Fiona talk to  Dr Prudence Flowers, Senior Lecturer in US History, Flinders University,  Abortion rights could be the advantage Kamala Harris needs.

6 in 10 Americans support abortion rights. This could be the advantage Kamala Harris needs against Donald Trump.

Vice President Kamala Harris had only just been endorsed by Joe Biden to take his spot as the Democratic nominee for president when she forcefully reminded Americans “what’s at stake in November” in a post on X:

Let’s be clear: Donald Trump would sign a national abortion ban and restrict access to contraception if given the chance.

Abortion has long been a hot-button election issue in the United States, but in the first presidential election since Roe v Wade was overturned, it could be the defining issue.

With Harris now the presumptive Democratic nominee, former President Donald Trump could be more vulnerable on the issue, particularly given his selection of J.D. Vance as his Republican running mate.
