In an October 2016 debate, Chris Wallace asked Trump whether he wanted Roe v. Wade overturned. Trump: “That'll happen automatically, in my opinion, because I am putting pro-life justices on the court…It will go back to the states and the states will then make a determination."

LA legislative special election

The GOP lost 2 legislative special elections in Louisiana tonight, both in districts that Trump had won by double-digits in 2016 (but also Edwards in 2015).

Dems already held one of them (a strong save); the one that the GOP held was won by an independent. ↓ https://t.co/zuhYu7nZH7
