Nearly a year and a half after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, abortion remains a key issue in elections across the country—to the benefit of Democrats, who’ve made protecting abortion rights a priority. A major takeaway from Tuesday’s elections is that “voters are casting ballots in favor of abortion access when it is a prominent election issue,” ABC News reports. Indeed, Arizona Republican strategist Barrett Marson tells CNN that Tuesday’s results “should scare every Republican in a state where an abortion question is on the ballot in 2024.” More:
Abortion: Abortion rights remain “politically popular,” given that voters backed a constitutionally protected right to abortion in Ohio and kept Democrats in control of the Kentucky governorship and the Virginia state Senate, while also flipping the Virginia state House blue, CNN reports. In its view, abortion rights will undoubtedly remain “a driving force in next year’s elections,” which is a good sign for Democrats.
