Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York praised President Joe Biden saying he’d support an exception to the filibuster to protect abortion rights.
Mr Biden made the remarks on the final day of a Nato summit in Madrid. A former senator for 36 years, Mr Biden’s shift comes after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v Wade, the 1973 court decision that enshrined the right to seek an abortion, last week.
