a warm welcome to our viewers joining us in the united states and all around the world. i m bianca nobilo. ooni m max foster. it is 4:00 a.m. on the eastern u.s. coast where abortion has become a key issue for democrats who are celebrating victories in elections. kentucky s governor won re-election tuesday overcoming his trump-backed challenger. this was our victory. it was a victory that sends a loud clear message, a message that candidates should run for something and not against someone. republicans did get a win in the mississippi governor s race. incumbent tate reeves defeated his opponent, a relative of elvis presley. and abortion was not directly on the ballot, but it is believed to be a strong factor in the results. and ohio is the latest state to enshrine reproductive rights in its state s constitution with the passage of issue 1, that means that republicans won t be able to redistrict abortion access for abortion around 4 to 5 months of pregnancy. report
