It\\u2019s Friday, so it\\u2019s time for The Campaign Moment \\u2014 our weekly roundtable conversation to help you keep track of the biggest developments during the 2024 campaign. Senior political reporter Aaron Blake, the author of The Post\\u2019s newsletter by the same name, chats with Martine Powers and our Arizona-based democracy reporter, Yvonne Wingett Sanchez, about the Arizona abortion ruling threatening to upend the 2024 election. The Arizona Supreme Court this week ruled that a near-total abortion ban from 1864 can go into effect in the state. It\\u2019s a big test for Donald Trump, who has taken credit for overturning Roe v. Wade but said that Arizona went too far and that state lawmakers would quickly \\u201cbring it back into reason.\\u201d


Yvonne, Martine and Aaron also chat about an awkward moment for RFK Jr.\\u2019s campaign, and how the N.Y. hush money trial could play for Trump in swing states like Arizona.
