good to be with you. i m chris jansing in for katy tur. president biden is making a big promise on abortion rights, a promise that he s betting will help lift democratic candidates who are on the midterm ballots. that s why these ecritical to elect more democrats to the united states senate and keep control of the house of representatives. folks, if we do that, here is the promise i make to you and to the american people, the first bill i send to congress will be could codify roe v. wade. and when congress passes it, i ll sign it in january. vote democratic and then i will send a message to codify roe but some folks are asking why wait until the next congress when the party has control now. i m going to talk to the director late they are hour on the timing of the president s speech and whether the issue can get democrats over the finish line. tim ryan and j.d. vance last night in a critical ohio senate race as well as in their last debate. the pair went toe to toe. temper
it looks different three weeks versus 39 weeks of pregnancy. it s tragic and j.d. and his extreme crew want to have a national abortion ban. he called rape inconvenient. this is not a guy who is ready to protect the rights of women. i want to show you brand-new polling numbers out of ohio putting vance ahead by two points. a lead that s within the margin of error here. a seat they need to hold on to. so what are the issues driving ohio voters to the polls? unsurprisingly the economy is at the top but also up there is abortion and nearly half of voters say it is how they cast their ballot. we re going to get more into those numbers and what they mean going forward in just a moment. we ll go live to florida where marco rubio and his challenger, val demings, will face off
