On April 1, the Florida Supreme Court issued a pair of decisions on
abortion that led the Biden campaign to declare that Florida, which
Democrats have lost twice to Donald Trump, was now “winnable.”
The only problem with that? Some of Florida’s abortion rights advocates
want the president to stay away. At issue is Amendment 4, a measure on
November’s ballot that would enshrine abortion in the state constitution
— and will also need Republican and independent votes to pass.
On this episode of Deep Dive, Anna Hochkammer, the executive director of
the Florida Women’s Freedom Coalition and one of the architects of
Florida’s abortion ballot initiative, joins host and Playbook co-author
Ryan Lizza to discuss the delicate politics of building a bipartisan
coalition around abortion rights in a red state like Florida.
