Trump would veto legislation establishing a federal abortion ban, Vance says

Trump would veto legislation establishing a federal abortion ban, Vance says

Vance’s comments in an NBC interview come after Democrats spent much of their national convention in Chicago last week assailing Trump for his role in appointing the Supreme Court Justices who overturned Roe v. Wade. But efforts to try to neutralize an issue that Democrats hope will galvanize voters also risk alienating parts of Trump’s core supporters who are opposed to abortion rights.

In boosting clean energy in Minnesota, Walz lays foundation for climate influence if Harris wins

In boosting clean energy in Minnesota, Walz lays foundation for climate influence if Harris wins

Minnesota had a half-century-old process for permitting clean energy projects that could keep developers waiting over a year for approval. For Gov. Tim Walz, outdated laws were going to make it impossible for his state to reach its goal of 100% renewable energy unless things were changed. So he worked with legislators earlier this year to do just that, and developers and utilities now say they are expecting a significantly quicker process.
