Balance of power: Schumer stretches reproductive rights votes further into 2024, seizing on GOP vulnerability
Fox News
Schumer is planning a vote on a bill to enshrine abortion rights into law, which follows votes on contraception and IVF, in an effort to put his Republican colleagues on record.
Julia Johnson is a politics writer for Fox News Digital and Fox Business, leading coverage of the U.S. Senate. She was previously a politics reporter at the Washington Examiner.
The bill could be scheduled for a formal test vote as soon as early July. Republicans would be expected to deny the measure from reaching 60 votes to clear the procedural hurdle, as they have on the past two reproductive bills teed up by Democrats.
