Biden, once viewed warily by some abortion rights advocates, receives NARAL endorsement

NARAL president Ilyse Hogue told McClatchy the endorsement was an easy decision, citing the existential threat the organization thinks President Donald Trump poses and Biden's own public pledges to unequivocally support abortion rights.

"We've had awesome and robust conversations with the campaign," Hogue said in an interview. "I think, collectively, we're clear-eyed about the work that needs to be done."
