Sipping a draft lager that she called “not a terrible city” in response to Trump’s disparagement of Milwaukee during a closed-door meeting with House Republicans, Warren reiterated her argument that “the only way we’re going to make Roe v. Wade the law of the land is to vote for Joe Biden, even in states that have abortion measures on the presidential ballot.”
“If Trump wins, all of the voting efforts to protect states will be for naught,” she said, adding that “a federal nationwide abortion ban would mean no abortion anywhere.”
In contrast to Biden, who has distanced herself from Democrats’ push to add more justices to the Supreme Court, Warren said the idea should still be considered a measure Democrats should consider as a counterweight to the court’s conservative majority, which she labels “extremists” and “lawless.”
“Changing the size of the Supreme Court is entirely constitutional. It’s been done many times before. It just takes a majority vote in Congress. We need to have more justices on the Supreme Court, and I strongly support that and I’m talking to my colleagues to try to get a little more support,” she said.
Asked if she had directly expressed those feelings to Biden, Warren denied it and said she wouldn’t discuss private conversations.
