Good Thursday morning. I'm Jake Sherman and welcome to your political playbook audio briefing.

And I'm Anna Palmer. There's been a big pylon against Joe Biden over his support of the Hyde Amendment.

0:13.0

Beto O'Rourke, Elizabeth Warren, and others have ganged up against the former vice president over his support of language that prohibits most federal funding for abortion.

1:34.5

and I mean it too, and I'm very happy with it. And a lot of people, senators included,
