Yeah but talk isn't legislation. With 54+ senators they could try by eliminating the filibuster but I doubt Trump would kill that for abortion he certainly would for other priorities. I'm not sure what "getting out more" has to do with it. 90+% of everything parties say never makes it to law because the threshold is so high.

If you live in reality you know that overturning Roe v. Wade was an inevitability once Trump put his last justice on the Supreme Court. The reality is Trump knows abortion in a second term will never be a priority and they won't have the votes to pass anything federally other than bipartisan milquetoast legislation that Democrats could get behind.

Do you live in the US? Here, Sen Manchin and Sinema said NO to any filibuster reform, and the Dems have 46 Senators and the 4 Independents caucus with them only for committee assignments. It is an outdated rule that was initially put in place to decades after the nation began to help pro-slavery interests.
