Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel said the GOP wouldn't be able to ignore abortion after the reversal of Roe v. Wade became a major issue in the midterm elections.
The Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization over the summer competed with inflation as one of the top issues in the midterm elections, helping to galvanize Democratic turnout and limit Republican gains in what had previously been expected to be a “red wave.”“The ostrich message doesn’t work,” McDaniel told WABC’s John Catsimatidis in an interview Sunday morning.
Democrats from President Joe Biden all the way down to the local level campaigned heavily in favor of Roe and against Dobbs, while it was perceived that Republican candidates were advised to minimize abortion discussion in favor of a focus on inflation and the economy. The top RNC official stated the need to “push back on the Democrats who are extreme on this issue” by highlighting abortion stances that are to the left of public opinion.
