Deep dives
Kamala Harris's Strategic Focus on Abortion Rights
Vice President Kamala Harris is adopting a new strategy by directly confronting former President Donald Trump on his stance regarding abortion rights. Harris targets Trump for his controversial comments during his 2016 campaign, where he suggested punishing women seeking abortions. By linking Trump to the current healthcare crisis and warning against the potential consequences of a second Trump term, Harris aims to prevent Trump from moderating his position publicly. The campaign style events allow Harris to emphasize the threat of a national abortion ban under Trump's leadership.
Unique Scrutiny on Trump's Legal Proceedings
The legal system faces unprecedented challenges in handling the criminal and civil trials involving former President Donald Trump. Trump's status as a former president and current presidential candidate presents a legal conundrum for judges, who strive for impartiality while avoiding inflaming tensions. The judges' cautious approach, partly influenced by concerns over Trump's rhetoric and potential backlash, raises questions about the legal system's ability to uphold fairness in high-profile cases. Trump's legal proceedings serve as a stress test for the legal system's capacity to navigate politically charged cases involving prominent figures.
Donald Trump has been outspoken in his belief that he has been martyred by the U.S. justice system, especially in the lead-up to his hush money trial Monday. But as legal editor James Romoser has uncovered, Trump might be on to something with the idea that the justice system is two-tiered; what he hasn't mentioned is the extent to which it favors him. Romoser joins Playbook co-author Eugene Daniels to break it all down. Plus, Eugene's reporting about Vice President Kamala Harris' new, more aggressive message on abortion rights; and on this week's Playbook Deep Dive, Michael Cohen sat down with Ryan Lizza — don't miss it.
