President Joe Biden is scheduled to arrive in Tampa this Tuesday, bringing attention to Florida’s recent abortion legislation. With the upcoming November elections in mind, Biden aims to influence public opinion and potentially secure votes amidst the controversy surrounding the state’s new abortion bans.
In recent years, Florida has leaned towards Republican dominance, but the implementation of stringent 15-week and 6-week abortion bans has stirred uncertainty, providing Democrats with an opportunity to sway voters and reclaim political ground.
President Biden is heading to Tampa on Tuesday to give a speech on abortion rights, days before the state’s six-week ban takes effect.
