Former President Donald Trump made only passing, indirect references to abortion Friday night at his first rally since a leaked draft of a Supreme Court opinion overturning Roe v. Wade sent Democrats and Republicans scrambling.
In a roughly 80-minute speech outside Pittsburgh to rally support for Senate GOP candidate Mehmet Oz, Trump did not dive into the debate like he did with topics such as immigration and critical race theory.
The court is not expected to issue its final ruling until June or July in a Mississippi case that directly challenges constitutional protections for abortion, but the leaked draft opinion has had an immediate effect on the battle for control of Congress in the November midterm elections. Republicans have mostly focused their remarks on the leak itself, while Democrats are trying to energize voters by making abortion a top campaign issue.
