GOP stands to gain in midterms from Democrats’ insistent abortion messaging, silence on economy

NEWS AND OPINION:

There has been some buzz among political analysts that the Democratic Party is now relying on the issue of abortion as their primary way to sway voters and dominate the midterm elections — and not without risk. On Tuesday, President Biden himself promised to ensure that abortion rights would become law.

Pollsters, however, continue to reveal that soaring prices on everyday items and economic concerns dominate voter concerns rather than abortion, which bolsters the Republican message. And the media has noticed.

“Biden trains his focus on abortion and gas prices as GOP sees momentum,” said a noteworthy CNN headline on Wednesday.
