WASHINGTON (AP) – The Latest on the U.S. presidential campaign (all times EDT):

Bernie Sanders is calling the Supreme Court’s decision to strike down Texas’ regulation of abortion clinics a “decisive victory for women across the country.”
The Democratic presidential candidate says in a statement that the Supreme Court reaffirmed that access to a “safe and legal abortion is a woman’s constitutional right,” and a right that cannot be prevented by “extreme, Republican politicians.”
The justices voted 5-3 on Monday in support of the Texas clinics that argued the regulations were an attempt to make it harder for women to get an abortion.
