Democrats are looking to repeat what abortion politics did for them in the 2022 midterms by appealing to a large swath of voters who think overturning Roe v. Wade went too far.

President Biden’s party achieved better-than-expected results in the midterms in large part because voters came out to elect Democrats to restore federal reproductive rights. They hope it’s still an issue that’s top of mind for voters.

“Democrats will keep it as a core part of their messaging heading into the fall because it’s such a clear contrast to the Republican position, which is out of step with where the American people are on this issue,” said Democratic communications strategist Katie Grant Drew.

    Should be easier to sustain than I originally thought. More tragic stories continue to get pushed to the national spotlight every month it seems. I was worried people would lose energy over this but thankfully that hasn’t been the case.

    The best part is Republicans are still doubling-down on the pro-life message with Johnson even being at the pro-life rally the other day.

      Yes, and let’s not use their double speak of calling it pro-life when it’s clearly forced-birth.
