It’s 1864 in Arizona and it’s time for Trump’s first criminal trial in New York.

Senior political reporter Aaron Blake, author of the Post’s newsletter The Campaign Moment, talks with Martine Powers and our Arizona-based Democratic reporter Yvonne Wingett Sanchez about the Arizona abortion decision. threatens to upend 2024 elections. The Arizona Supreme Court ruled this week that a near-total ban on abortion dating from 1864 can go into effect in the state. It’s a big test for Donald Trump, who takes credit for overturning Roe deer v. Wade but said Arizona had gone too far and that state lawmakers would “quickly bring things back to sanity.”

Yvonne, Martine and Aaron also discuss a tricky moment for RFK Jr.’s campaign and how New York’s secret money trial could work in Trump’s favor in swing states like Arizona.
