Some Democrats believe focusing on abortion helped change the 2022 election — and it could be a winning strategy in 2024.
Most of the 18 Republicans in Biden districts also faced Democratic attacks on abortion last year and still prevailed. But Democrats believe this election cycle will be different.
“This is an issue that is now real and visceral. It’s no longer theoretical,” said Democratic Rep. Pat Ryan, who won a special election in New York after the Supreme Court’s decision last year.next year, as voters weigh a proposal to enshrine abortion rights in the state constitution. And Ryan noted that New Yorkers would be affected by GOP proposals to institute a federal ban or limit access to pills used in medication abortions.
“We have to come to terms with that,” the strategist added. “We have to have well thought-out, rationalized positions. And we have to get comfortable with talking about it now.”
