Against the odds, a Republican wave threatens to crest in the U.S. midterms
Mehmet Oz, left, a Republican candidate for U.S. Senate in Pennsylvania, speaks during a campaign event in Malvern, Pa., on Oct. 15.Could there be a more American success story circa 2022 than that of Mehmet Oz?
So the midterm board has been fairly stacked against the Democrats. On the flip side, the GOP is now Donald Trump in a skin suit. This is the party whose Supreme Court appointments just led to the unpopular, ensuring that this generation of American women will be the first to enjoy fewer constitutionally protected rights than their mothers and grandmothers. And the Jan. 6 committee demonstrated Trumpworld’s complicity in a basement-dweller’s putsch.
Abortion has now been banned entirely in the state of Louisiana. In Oklahoma, it’s banned in all cases, except those of life endangerment, rape or incest. Elsewhere, other state-level Republicans are crafting abortion laws that are unpalatably severe, even to the majority of those in the party. With less than a week left, the polls are speaking – and I’m sorry to say that somehow, it appears that abortion isn’t the winning issue.
