Vice President Kamala Harris and down-ticket Democrats may have overplayed their hand on abortion by making it the primary focus of their campaigns this election.
A close look at recent election results and public polling reveals that, while Democrats have an advantage on the topic of abortion, it is not likely to prove determinative, and their focus on it may harm them with voters worried about immigration, inflation, and other major concerns facing the nation.
“Democrats are kind of like a degenerate gambler going back and back and back to the same slot machine that they got their first win on, and they’re now going to start to lose,” conservative strategist Terry Schilling, president of the American Principles Project, told the Washington Examiner.
