I disagree.
In 2020, GOP forced the abortion issue, and so it was on the ballot in referendums in many states and it brought out the vote. We lost the senate, but we retained the house, thanks in large part to Trump’s relentless campaigning,
I don’t think abortion issues will be on many state referendums this time. I might be wrong, because if it is, then you’ll be right.
I think just about everyone is ok with this being determined at the state level.
It would. be political suicide, and maybe this is your point, to make abortion a federal issue again.
That is the key. No federal office seeker should make abortion an issue, since it s now officially a state issue. Let each state decide. Remember, we lost the red wave in 2022 not because of Dobbs but because traitor Graham set everyone’s hair on fire with his demonic move to “pass a national ban on abortion.” Until he said that, the issue had died down enough that it was not a major voting issue for Congress.
Abortion will indirectly be on every ballot. The Dems know they can paint with a broad brush, and they will whip up their folks into a whirlwind.
Combine this with the anti Trump fervor…and the GOP will have to get a lot better turnout than 2020.
