Why Abortion Rights Won Even as Kamala Harris Lost

In this episode of Daily, we explore the unexpected outcomes of the 2024 election concerning abortion rights. While several states, including some traditionally Republican ones, passed measures to protect abortion rights, Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris, who focused heavily on this issue, did not perform well in those areas.

Additionally, Trump's messaging on abortion influenced this divide.
