NEW: Biden will make an abortion rights bill the first piece of legislation he will send to Congress next year if Democrats elect more senators and his party keeps control of the House, Axios has learned.
Biden will deliver remarks at a Democratic National Committee event at the Howard Theatre in Washington, where he will draw a contrast between Republicans "who want a national ban" and Democrats "who want to codify Roe into law," according to a Democratic official.
If Democrats keep the House and win more seats in the Senate, the first bill he will send to the next Congress will be to codify Roe — to be signed into law around the 50th anniversary of the Roe v. Wade ruling on Jan. 22, 2023, he'll say.Keeping both chambers will be a tall order for Democrats given the renewed pressure of high inflation and the political headwinds the party in power typically faces in a midterm year.
Biden has also pledged to veto any bill that would ban abortions on the federal level if Republicans take control of Congress. Sen. Lindsey Graham introduced legislation that would impose a federal ban on most abortions at 15 weeks of pregnancy.
