In two weeks, Kansans are set to be the first in the country to vote on abortion rights in the aftermath of a U.S. Supreme Court decision overturning a constitutional right to an abortion.
While the vote has brought national attention to the state, the White House is staying silent.
Asked Monday if the White House sees the Aug. 2 Kansas vote as an indication for how voters will respond to the Dobbs decision, in which the Supreme Court overturned the 50-year-old Roe v. Wade decision that guaranteed abortion rights across the country, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre punted on the significance of the specific ballot question.
