Democrats are seeking to keep abortion in the headlines ahead of the midterm elections in an effort to make it top of mind for voters as they seek to retain control of the House and Senate.
Their strategy comes as Republicans have tried to steer the focus to crime, the economy and immigration, all topics Democrats would like to avoid ahead of November.
While Democrats are not addressing the Walker story head-on, the party is spotlighting the issue in races up and down the ballot across the country. Over the past month in Pennsylvania, Democratic Senate nominee John Fetterman has hammered his GOP opponent Mehmet Oz for not saying whether he supports a national abortion ban.
Meanwhile, Democrats — including the White House — continue to bash Graham’s legislation, highlighting Republicans’ messaging challenges on the issue. At a Democratic National Committee fundraiser late last month, President Biden said that Republicans are discussing an abortion ban that had “no exceptions — rape, incest, no exceptions.”
That trip was one of more than 20 meetings the vice president has done, with more than 150 state legislators from 18 states, to discuss abortion issues with local leaders. White House assistant press secretary Kevin Munoz reiterated Biden’s comments from the meeting, saying that the Supreme Court’s decision “takes us backwards as a country.”
“Republicans are hellbent on returning this country to a time where men control women’s bodies,” he said. “Their attempts at framing the abortion debate as concern over protecting the sanctity of life has been exposed as the height of hypocrisy by people like Herschel Walker. Women are watching and listening.”
