Trump, Harris on Abortion: Reporters’ Roundtable Examines Their Records

THURSDAY, AUGUST 29, 2024

Gallup reports that a record-high 32% of U.S. voters say they will only vote for a candidate for major office who shares their views on abortion. Indeed, the upcoming November presidential election will be the first one since the Supreme Court ended the constitutional right to abortion. The Washington reporters who cover health care policy and political maneuverings join us on “Conversations on Health Care” to discuss how Vice President Kamala Harris highlighted the contrasts between the parties as former President Donald Trump has issued statements that appear to muddy the issue.

Discussing reproductive rights and other issues are:

• Shannon Firth with MedPage Today

• Ben Leonard with POLITICO

• Sarah Owermohle with STAT News

Hosts Mark Masselli and Margaret Flinter also ask them about gun violence, medical debt, Medicaid, and the future of the Affordable Care Act and its subsidies. Be sure to listen to what health-related question each of these journalists would like to ask the presidential candidates if given the chance—some of their questions may surprise you!
