(MILWAUKEE) — The Republican National Committee’s platform committee has adopted a policy document that reflects former President Donald Trump’s position opposing a federal abortion ban and ceding limits to states, omitting the explicit basis for a national ban for the first time in 40 years.

We've already seen Stephen Miller and Trump ridiculously try to distance themselves from The Heritage Foundation's Project 2025, and this Sunday on CNN, potential VP candidate Marco Rubio took his turn with this word salad. Rubio was asked about remarks by Heritage Foundation chief Kevin Roberts talking about his "bloodless revolution" by host Dana Bash, and Rubio responded by playing the "both sides" game and probably making the exact opposite point than the one he was attempting to make, while pretending Trump doesn't have every intention of enacting the policies laid out by Project 2025. BASH: Speaking of what a Donald Trump next White House would do there is a conservative effort, it's called Project 2025, and it includes several former Trump administration officials they are arguing and they have in their platform if you will, to purge thousands of civilian, excuse me purge thousands of civil servants from federal agencies vastly expand the power of the presidency.
