USA Today appeared to alter a Monday headline on former President Donald Trump’s abortion stance after President Joe Biden’s campaign blasted the outlet’s coverage.

Trump said on Monday that states should craft their own abortion laws, which many, including USA Today, interpreted to mean he was against any national regulation. However, the Biden campaign objected to headlines by USA Today and other corporate media outlets in a press call, saying it was a certainty that Trump would ban abortion nationally if reelected.

USA Today’s initial headline was “‘The will of the people’: Trump opposes national abortion ban; says states should decide.” Mediaite first reported the change.

“Trump kept his word to overturn Roe in his last term, and he will not rest until he has banned abortion across the entire country. Period,” Biden campaign Deputy Communications Director Brooke Goren said on the call. “We all know this and the coverage needs to reflect it.”

Goren called USA Today’s headline “particularly egregiously false.”

After the call, the outlet appeared to change the headline to, “Donald Trump says states should decide abortion policy, avoids talk of a national ban,” without adding any editor’s note.

Trump stressed his support for states to make their own laws in a series of Monday Truth Social posts in response to Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina disagreeing with his stance.
