President Biden on Wednesday said the "MAGA crowd is really the most extreme political organization that's existed in American history," while speculating on how conservative state legislatures could respond to a potential Supreme Court ruling that would drastically curtail abortion access.

Why it matters: Biden, answering questions from reporters on a recent Politico leak of draft opinion indicating the Supreme Court has voted to overturn Roe v. Wade, suggested the draft goes against Supreme Court precedent that established a right to privacy.

What he said: "This is about a lot more than abortion," Biden said before asking what "the next things that are going to be attacked" might be.

Flashback: On Tuesday, Biden said that his administration "will be ready when any ruling is issued" after Politico published a story about the Supreme Court potentially voting to overturn Roe v. Wade.

"If this decision holds, it's really quite a radical decision," he said.

Vice President Kamala Harris said Tuesday that "the rights of all Americans are at risk" with the potential ruling. »

In August 2018 the Central African Republic and Russian authorities signed an agreement under which “primarily former military officers” from Russia, also called “specialists”, would train Central African Republic forces.

Russia-linked forces in the Central African Republic do not wear a designated uniform with official insignia or other distinguishing features.
