President Joe Biden warns his predecessor, Donald Trump, of potential voter backlash in the 2024 elections due to his role in overturning Roe v. Wade.
What Happened: On Saturday, Biden took to Twitter to express his views on Trump’s involvement in the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. “Donald Trump is worried that since he’s responsible for overturning Roe, the voters will hold him accountable in 2024. I have news for Donald: They will,” Biden tweeted.

Earlier, Trump had clarified his stance on abortion, suggesting it should be a state decision rather than a national ban. This came after he had previously expressed pride in overturning Roe v. Wade, a move that Vice President Kamala Harris criticized.
Why It Matters: The overturning of Roe v. Wade has been a contentious issue, with Biden pledging to restore the federal right to abortion if reelected and if more Congress members supporting abortion rights are elected in November. The Supreme Court’s decision to withdraw protection over abortion rights has been a significant point of debate, with Biden emphasizing the need for voters to make their voices heard.
Abortion rights have been a key topic in recent elections, with Biden celebrating Ohio voters’ decision to protect abortion rights within their state constitution. The issue is expected to be a major flashpoint in the 2024 elections.
Trump’s recent backpedaling from a national abortion ban could be a strategic move to avoid alienating voters in the upcoming election. However, Biden’s tweet suggests that the former President’s role in overturning Roe v. Wade will not be forgotten by voters.
