That’s a contrast to the Democratic side, which has quickly shaped up as race between two heavyweight candidates. “It’s going to be competitive, the Republican primary,” Republican analyst Dick Wadhams said. Baisley, in the only mention of abortion during the forum, said he’d erase the Reproductive Health Equity Act, which codified a right to abortion in state law. On the same day as Trump’s speech, one Republican governor, Louisiana’s Jeff Landry, bolstered that effort by calling his National Guard to some of his state’s cities. The GOP field on Thursday, however, said they wouldn’t invite the Pentagon to send troops to Colorado cities — though some had some caveats.
