Abortion Resurfaces as a Decisive Issue Amid Blue Wave

“Anti-abortion leaders who spent tens of millions boosting Republicans in the midterms have a message for the party following Tuesday’s blue wave election: It’s your own damn fault,” Politico reports.

“Voters overwhelmingly rejected an anti-abortion ballot measure in Missouri, approved pro-abortion rights referendums in Nevada and Virginia, and flipped the House and Senate to Democratic control by electing candidates in Georgia, Maine, Michigan, Ohio, Texas and other battlegrounds who ran on protecting or restoring access to the procedure.”

“Now, the jockeying over what those results mean and how they should shape politicians’ actions heading into next year’s Democratic congressional majority and the 2028 presidential race begins.”
