President Joe Biden is expected to announce proposed reforms to the US Supreme Court during a speech commemorating the 60th anniversary of the Civil Rights Act. The reforms include 18-year term limits, a binding code of ethics, and a new constitutional amendment that would reverse a Supreme Court decision granting former presidents immunity from prosecution. Meanwhile, a trial challenging North Dakota’s abortion ban was canceled as the judge considers whether to dismiss the lawsuit. The ban outlaws abortion as a felony crime with exceptions, and plaintiffs argue it violates the state constitution. In Arizona, Vice President Kamala Harris received endorsements from mayors of border towns amid criticism of her handling of illegal border crossings. The Minnesota governor offered reproductive healthcare to Iowa residents after Iowa’s strict six-week abortion ban took effect. In Washington, a task force has been created to investigate the assassination attempt against Donald Trump, chaired by Congressman Mike Kelly. Additionally, a six-week abortion ban went into effect in Iowa, restricting access to the procedure before many women may know they are pregnant. Democratic governors from neighboring states condemned the law and offered support to Iowa residents affected by it. Amid these events, questions have arisen about the political evolution of Donald Trump’s running mate, JD Vance, following the release of emails criticizing Trump.
