A rare red blip is threatening to breach one of the deep-blue Ocean State's congressional districts, and Democrats have found a battle cry to lean on in defense: abortion rights.
Over recent weeks, Democrat Seth Magaziner and his allies have cut ads pummeling fellow 2nd Congressional District hopeful Republican Allan Fung on abortion rights, sensing a weakness they hope can scare off independents warming up to Fung. There's just one catch: Fung has a history of backing abortion rights."If I needed. If my daughter needed an abortion, Alan Fung would let states make that a crime and then lock me in jail ...
"Another day, another desperate attempt by Allan Fung to run from his record on abortion while Republicans in Congress continue to double down on their agenda. Will Fung disavow McCarthy’s 'Commitment to America'?" Magaziner tweeted. — Seth Magaziner September 29, 2022 Another ad backing Magaziner from the House Majority political action committee flagrantly branded Fung as"another anti-abortion Republican" and cited his commitment to the GOP's agenda as evidence.
Throughout the midterm elections, many Republicans nationally have sought to return fire on Democrats for being too loose on abortion regulation. But Fung has seemingly sought to steer the focus to bread-and-butter topics, such as roaring inflation and prices at the gas pump. Fung is the former mayor of Cranston, the second-largest city in the state, which he served from 2009-2021. He also unsuccessfully vied for governor in 2014 and 2018 against Gina Raimondo, who is now the commerce secretary.
At least one poll has Fung besting Magaziner, who has shown no signs of underestimating his Republican foe. Magaziner, the state treasurer, has unleashed a slew of ads and attacks on Fung, seeking to caricature him as a puppet for former President Donald Trump and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy , both of whom are deeply unpopular in Rhode Island. 🚨Allan Fung just announced his candidacy for Congress.
