During an interview with Biden campaign communications director Kate Bedingfield, the left-leaning network’s anchor Brianna Keilar tried to get answers on the former vice president’s jarring recent shifts regarding his support of the Hyde Amendment.
Last month, the former VP told a supporter that he would commit to abolishing the amendment, which bans federal funding for abortions. On Wednesday, however, his campaign says he still supported it, sparking major backlash among progressives as well as his 2020 primary challengers. Late on Thursday, he reversed course again, declaring that he can no longer support the amendment.
