Read previewJoe Biden's pitch to reform the Supreme Court is off to a rough start. House Speaker Mike Johnson has already sworn to fight the Biden administration's proposal to rein in the Supreme Court, calling it "dead on arrival." The GOP has largely supported the Supreme Court's conservative majority, and has rebuked Democrats' attempts to limit its power. Term limits and a new code of conductBiden's plan for the Supreme Court includes term limits that would mean a new justice was chosen every two years.

With a divided Congress, state legislatures are a likely source of new abortion policies. All but two states with near-total bans have Republican trifectas, meaning they hold the governorship and a majority in both chambers. Eight states have had Republican trifectas for five continuous cycles. Note: Nebraska has a unicameral legislature; Alaska’s senate will be led by a bipartisan majority coalition.
