Biden, a devout Catholic, expressed his view on Trump’s perspective of the Dobbs decision, regarding the Supreme Court’s ruling that effectively overturned Roe v. Wade in June 2022. According to Biden, Trump characterized this ruling as a miraculous outcome.

This remark drew laughter from the audience. Biden firmly believes that the recent actions were not a miracle but rather a political agreement made with the evangelical base of the Republican Party. In this deal, they chose to overlook his moral and character shortcomings in exchange for his promise to nominate Supreme Court justices who would overturn Roe v. Wade.
