RACHEL SCOTT: Harris today leaning into what's become a defining issue for her campaign, abortion, saying she wants to abolish the Senate filibuster to restore reproductive rights as they existed under Roe versus Wade, with a simple majority vote instead of the two-thirds vote now required.
KAMALA HARRIS: I've been very clear. I think we should eliminate the filibuster for Roe and get us to the point where 51 votes would be what we need to actually put back in law the protections for reproductive freedom.
SCOTT: Trump has boasted of nominating three of the Supreme Court justices who overturned Roe versus Wade, keenly aware he's paid a political price with female voters. The former president now making an all-out appeal to the women who are concerned about abortion rights.
TRUMP: I am your protector. I want to be your protector. As president, I have to be your protector. You will no longer be abandoned, lonely, or scared. You will no longer be in danger. You're not going to be in danger any longer. You will no longer have anxiety from all of the problems our country has today. You will be protected, and I will be your protector. Women -- women will be happy, healthy, confident, and free. You will no longer be thinking about abortion. That's all they talk about. Abortion.
SCOTT: But tonight, a Harris campaign spokeswoman with a blunt response -- "After ripping away our reproductive freedom, now he's trying to tell us how to think."
