Here's what we're covering.
The question of abortion access is shaping up to be a defining issue in this year's election, and millions more Americans will now be voting on it directly.
This week, Arizona and Missouri became the latest states that will have measures guaranteeing abortion access on the ballot.
In November, abortion rights groups spent months collecting enough signatures to put forward state constitutional amendments on the issue.
Those signatures were just certified.
So far, six other states will have similar measures to establish or protect abortion rights on their ballots, including Florida, New York and Nevada.
Notably, every time the question of how to regulate abortion has come up for a vote since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v.
Wade, the majority of voters have sided with abortion rights groups.
Meanwhile, Democrats are hoping the measures will energize voters and drive higher turnout in their favor, particularly in Arizona and Nevada, two key battleground states.
The Times has learned previously unreported details about Hunter Biden's business dealings while his father was vice president.
