COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — A major anti-abortion group blasted former President Donald Trump on the issue Thursday, saying his contention that abortion restrictions should be left up to individual states, not the federal government, is a “morally indefensible position for a self-proclaimed pro-life presidential candidate.”The Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America group was responding to a statement by Trump campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung for a Washington Post story about division among the 2024 GOP presidential field on abortion-related issues. The group has said it would not support any White House candidate who did not at a minimum support a 15-week federal abortion ban.“The Supreme Court made clear in its decision that it was returning the issue to the people to decide through their elected representatives in the states and in Congress,” the group’s president, Marjorie Dannenfelser, said in a news release. “Holding to the position that it is exclusively up to the states i...

CHICAGO (AP) — The Chicago Bears already used the draft to address their glaring need for a playmaking receiver. They still have big holes to fill.The Bears come in needing better protection for quarterback Justin Fields and help on the defensive line, starting with the No. 9 overall pick.General manager Ryan Poles already made one huge splash when he traded the No. 1 overall selection to Carolina for receiver DJ Moore and moved down eight spots. The Bears also got a haul of picks from the Panthers in that blockbuster deal.At No. 9, there are a number of ways Poles could go. If Jalen Carter is available, things could get real interesting. Do they grab the Georgia defensive tackle and decide his immense talent outweighs the risks? Carter was viewed as a potential No. 1 pick had the Bears stayed at the top of the draft, before his off-field issues and a poor pro day.Do they give Fields more protection by grabbing an offensive lineman? And if they go for a blocker, do they pick former ...

(CNN) — Plans are in motion for President Joe Biden to formally announce his bid for a second term as soon as next week, with a campaign-style video set to be released to definitively answer the question of whether he will run again and igniting an aggressive fundraising effort to help Democrats hold the White House.Biden’s small circle of close-knit advisers and allies are preparing for a video announcement Tuesday that would coincide with the anniversary of Biden’s 2019 campaign announcement, according to four sources familiar with the matter.Advisers inside and outside the White House caution that timing could still change, pending unforeseen events, but a decision has been reached that it is “no longer helpful or necessary to not just say the obvious: He’s running,” a senior Democratic official told CNN.Both sentimental and fond of an anniversary, Biden has signed off on a plan to formalize his intentions as soon as Tuesday...
