Senior political reporter Aaron Blake, the author of The Post’s newsletter The Campaign Moment, chats with Martine Powers and our Arizona-based democracy reporter, Yvonne Wingett Sanchez, about the Arizona abortion ruling threatening to upend the 2024 election (https://www.washingtonpost.com/elections/2024/04/10/arizona-abortion-ban-politics-election/?utm_source=podcasts&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=the-campaign-moment) . The Arizona Supreme Court this week ruled that a near-total abortion ban from 1864 can go into effect in the state. It’s a big test for Donald Trump, who has taken credit for overturning Roe v. Wade but said that Arizona went too far and that state lawmakers would quickly “bring it back into reason.” Yvonne, Martine and Aaron also chat about an awkward moment for RFK Jr.’s campaign, and how the N.Y. hush money trial could play for Trump in swing states like Arizona.  Subscribe to Aaron’s newsletter, The Campaign Moment, here (https://www.washingtonpost.com/newsletters/campaign-moment/?method=NMP_SURL&&utm_source=podcasts&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=the-campaign-moment;location=podcasts) .  Subscribe to The Washington Post here (https://subscribe.washingtonpost.com/acquisition/?s_l=OFFSITE_PODCAST&p=s_v&s_dt=yearly&utm%5B%E2%80%A6%5De-podcast&utm_medium=acq-nat&utm_campaign=podcast-subs) .
