Overton currently serves as a deputy assistant to the president for domestic policy. During her time in the Trump administration, she has been described as a “ROCKSTAR.” Overton has stated that Congress should strictly regulate abortion drug mifepristone ‘to protect women and children. No right-leaning sources reported on Overton's stance on abortion, while left-leaning outlets highlighted it. The Washington Examiner noted her advocacy against abortion.
