Supreme Court issues ruling leaving Trump immunity and abortion cases on hold
Good morning to all readers of the US Politics Blog. This morning at 10 am EST, the Supreme Court is likely to rule on some of the high-profile cases that the justices have yet to rule on. Among them are: Donald TrumpCurrently under consideration are Biden’s petition for immunity from federal prosecution for attempting to overturn the results of the 2020 election, as well as two cases over abortion access: one about whether the Biden administration can require hospitals in states with strict abortion bans to perform abortions in emergency situations, and the other about conservative efforts to restrict access to the abortion drug mifepristone. The Supreme Court is clearly right-leaning, with six conservative justices and three liberals, but much uncertainty remains, and as always, it is not known in advance which cases the court will decide, or how many cases it will decide.
The verdict in the Trump case will be shown in an intriguing split-screen setting in New York, where jurors are beginning the second day of deliberations in his business fraud trial. It’s unclear when a verdict will be reached, but whatever the outcome, the former president’s decision will surely send shock waves through the 2024 election.
