Quick Glance: Arizona Republicans foil another effort to repeal 1864 abortion ban
- Arizona House Republicans once again thwarted an attempt on Wednesday to repeal the state's nearly complete abortion ban from 1864, leaving Democrats without a vote on their repeal bill for the second consecutive week.
- Despite facing pressure from influential conservatives, such as former President Trump and Senate hopeful Kari Lake, urging GOP leaders to lift the ban, the Republicans blocked the repeal.
- State House Democrats made a procedural maneuver to attempt to suspend House rules and bring the repeal bill to the floor for discussion. However, this action was rejected by the GOP majority, with only one Republican, Representative Matt Gress, crossing party lines to support bringing up the repeal bill.
- A similar endeavor to repeal the ban was obstructed by Republicans last week. Following persistent criticism of the law by Democrats both within and outside the state throughout the week, prominent figures like Trump and Lake recognized the political risks and advocated for a change in direction within the Legislature.

- Since July 2023, the Fed has maintained its benchmark interest rate in a target range between 5.25% and 5.5%, the result of 11 consecutive rate hikes.

Quick Glance: US February Inflation Data Aligns with Fed's Expectations, Powell States
- The latest U.S. inflation data aligns with what the Federal Reserve wants to see, according to Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. The personal consumption expenditures (PCE) price index data released on Friday matched expectations and showed less of a slowdown than last year. However, Powell emphasized that the February report did not undermine the Fed's baseline outlook.
- Some details of the PCE data showed improvements in inflation aspects considered important by the Fed, even though the overall numbers showed little progress in the first two months of the year. Last week, the Fed kept its benchmark overnight interest rate steady at 5.25%-5.50% and narrowly confirmed the baseline projection of a 0.75 percentage point rate decrease by the end of this year.
- Powell has had to reconcile expectations for rate cuts with data indicating a slowdown, if not a halt, in the improvement of inflation numbers in recent weeks. He stated that recent high inflation does not alter the overall narrative of easing price pressures, but acknowledged that the recent data cannot be completely dismissed as a sign of slowed progress.
