It's two different realities today for both presidential candidates: President Biden is in Michigan meeting with voters and Vice President Kamala Harris is making a historic, first-of-its-kind visit to a Minnesota women's reproductive health clinic that performs abortion services.

But former President Trump isn't on the campaign trail. Instead, he arrived in court for one of his many lingering legal cases.

Kamala Harris visits Minnesota clinic that performs abortions: "We are facing a very serious health crisis"

State of the Union

Vice President Kamala Harris visited a Minnesota women's reproductive health clinic that performs abortion services during her visit to the state Thursday, which her office is touting as the first time that either a sitting president or vice president has visited a reproductive health clinic.

As the Biden-Harris campaign has sought to highlight the issue of abortion as well as women's reproductive health, Harris warned "we are facing a very serious health issue" in the U.S.

Using some of the strongest language so far that the administration has used so far to show their advocacy for abortion rights, Harris said these attacks against an individual's right to make decisions about their own body are outrageous and in many instances, plain old immoral."

Trump and his lawyers make two arguments in court to get classified documents case dismissed

Former President Donald Trump and his lawyers are in court trying to convince a federal judge in Florida Thursday to dismiss special counsel Jack Smith's classified documents case against him.

Judge Aileen Cannon is hearing arguments on two motions filed by Trump, one that says the former president is shielded from prosecution by a federal recordkeeping law, and another that claims one of the charges presents numerous open legal questions.

It's the second hearing in as many weeks when Trump's team and prosecutors in Smith's office face each other in Cannon's courtroom.
