Will abortion decide the election? It might in Arizona...

Sarah鈥檚 there, as early voting begins

Many voters will be picking the candidate that aligns with their views on abortion access this year, and in some states, the issue is literally on the ballot.

One of them is Arizona, where people are voting on the law around access, and Sarah's been speaking to voters about the debate.

We discuss why it鈥檚 the debate that Democrats hope this election comes down to, and what Trump's changing view on it is.
