Abortion was on the ballot Tuesday in more ways than one. Nationally, Kamala Harris’ campaign increasingly emphasized the issue, claiming that electing Donald Trump again would lead to a “national abortion ban.”
And voters in 10 states had the opportunity to amend their state constitutions to protect a right to abortion. Here are the results.
The Harris campaign’s claims were demonstrably false. Trump repeatedly said he would veto a national abortion ban if Congress ever passed one.
House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., claimed that Project 2025’s set of policy proposals called for a national abortion ban even though the 920-page volume says nothing about it.
Abortion took center stage as a long line of celebrities endorsed Harris.
Trump’s victory, winning a higher percentage of the popular vote than in 2020 or 2016, showed that this strategy failed.
The picture is different at the state level, where the abortion issue itself was on the ballot.
