The Abortion Debate Returns With Risks For Both Parties

Left, Right & Center vor 4 Monaten

Abortion is back at center stage in our politics after a federal
appeals court halted access to a mail-order abortion medication.
We’ll talk about next steps in the Supreme Court and the decision
facing both parties on whether to lean into this issue at this
moment. Democrats know it can galvanize their base, but do they
want to take attention away from affordability? On the right,
could this expose President Trump’s failure to deliver the strong
message on abortion that many supporters wanted?

As we go deeper into this midterm election year, we’re also
learning that President Trump can still dictate how some
elections play out. He sank some incumbent Republicans in Indiana
who refused to stand with him on redistricting. And in
Texas, if the President doesn’t decide soon who to endorse in the
U.S. Senate, the two GOP candidates risk draining their
resources.

And there’s a chaotic mess for Democrats in the race for
California’s governor. It’s a mess that could lead to a
Republican replacing Gavin Newsom.
