Why the GOP Can Win with Mixed Vaccination Messages

Jonathan Allen: “Despite the divide in the party, many Republicans see little electoral danger for the midterms.”

“Elijah Haahr, a former Missouri House speaker, said there’s an asymmetry to the voting public. For those who have chosen not to get vaccinated, he said, ‘that will be their No. 1 issue, and they will vote against the party that wants to force them to vaccinate.’”

“On the other side of the spectrum, he said, people who have been vaccinated are more likely to put other issues front and center by the time they go to the polls next year.”
