President Joe Biden warned that Donald Trump and Republicans would move to enact a national abortion ban as he kicked off a travel blitz designed to seize on momentum from his State of the Union address and emphasize the stakes of a rematch with his predecessor.

Biden plans to visit five 2024 swing states over the next week, starting with a trip Friday to his birthplace of Pennsylvania and a Saturday stop in Georgia, a traditional Republican bastion he narrowly won in 2020. Biden at a rally near Philadelphia chided Trump for having “bragged” about the Supreme Court ruling ending nationwide abortion rights.
