白宫
白宫：白宫准备不惜一切代价捍卫堕胎权，无论法院如何裁决。副总统哈里斯正在全国各地积极奔走，争取堕胎权，并呼吁一场反击运动来对抗共和党试图实施全国性堕胎禁令的努力。总统拜登虽然在公开场合较少谈及堕胎问题，但他已明确表示生殖权是政府的优先事项，并谴责共和党的极端政策。
Asma Khalid：白宫在堕胎问题上的策略是通过法律途径抗争，并利用公众舆论施压。副总统哈里斯的积极行动提升了她的政治形象，也为民主党在政治上争取了优势。
Barbara Sprunt：众议院议长麦卡锡提出的提高债务上限的计划，要求同时削减联邦支出，包括将联邦支出削减至两年前的水平，限制未来支出的增长，取消一些民主党标志性立法项目的资金，以及对联邦援助项目中的成年人实施工作要求。民主党人认为该计划不可接受，并认为会损害经济。麦卡锡希望该计划能促使拜登回到谈判桌。
Ritu Chatterjee：一份新的报告显示，由于新冠疫情，数千万儿童错过了常规疫苗接种，导致一些疾病如破伤风、腹泻病和麻疹正在卷土重来，脊髓灰质炎病例也在增加。一些国家正在努力弥补因疫情造成的疫苗接种缺口，但贫穷国家和冲突地区仍有很长的路要走。
Deep Dive
The White House is employing a multi-pronged approach to defend reproductive rights, focusing on legal battles, public advocacy, and highlighting the extremism of opposing views. Vice President Harris is leading the charge, while President Biden takes a less visible but equally crucial role in setting the administration's agenda and framing the issue within a broader context of democratic threats and medical autonomy.
- The Supreme Court's temporary freeze on the abortion pill case highlights the ongoing legal battle.
- Vice President Harris is actively campaigning across the country to rally support for reproductive rights.
- President Biden's approach focuses on framing the issue as a threat to democracy and medical autonomy, rather than direct public campaigning.
