a bunch of right wing extremists who support Trump winning nominations.But he did get to spend some time on the least depressing outcome of the night: The resounding victory for abortion rights in Kansas.See, in 2019 the Kansas Supreme Court confirmed that the right to an abortion is enshrined in the state’s constitution.
