What Went Down During Ohio’s And Indiana’s Primary Elections
At the risk of repeating what I said in the chat, I think a ruling that overturns Roe could be bad news for Republicans because completely banning abortion is highly, highly unpopular. That said, I think people will have to actually experience what it’s like to live in a country where abortion is illegal in many states for the ruling to have a big political impact, and I’m not sure how fully that reality will sink in before the midterms.
Today was obviously a very big news day — and not just because of tonight’s primaries. I am, of course, referring to the leaked draft Supreme Court opinion that Politico obtained late Monday.
Amelia, Alex, Nathaniel, Geoffrey and I talked about this earlier today, but what repercussions do you all think the court overturning Roe would have for the upcoming midterm elections?
The folks at Decision Desk HQ have called the GOP Senate primary in Ohio for J.D. Vance, the Trump-endorsed candidate. ABC hasn’t made a projection in the race though.
