The leaked draft of a Supreme Court abortion opinion that would overturn the landmark Roe v. Wade decision is shaking the U.S. political landscape in what has been expected to be a difficult election year for Democrats.
A White House adviser said a Roe reversal would serve as a galvanizing force for key segments of President Joe Biden's coalition, giving Democrats a clear message to link to the midterm elections. At the same time, the adviser, who requested anonymity to discuss internal strategies, acknowledged that an abortion change might not be enough on its own to overcome political headwinds come November.
The Democratic fundraising platform, ActBlue, drew less than $3 million in donations between 6:30 a.m. and 1 p.m. on Tuesday. By contrast, the platform took in $71 million in the 24 hours after former Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's death. President Joe Biden spoke Tuesday after a leaked Supreme Court draft opinion threatening to overturn Roe v. Wade was published by Politico late Monday. “If the rationale of the decision as released were to be sustained, a whole range of rights are in question… it goes far beyond the concern of whether or not there is the right to choose.
“That’s the stake in this election in November that all of us have to remember," Malinowski said in an interview."Are we going to preserve a majority in the House of Representatives, in the Senate that will protect 50 years of settled law in this country, that will protect a woman’s right to choose?”
From New Hampshire, Hassan said the leaked opinion clarifies the stakes this fall for voters in her state and beyond. She called a potential Roe reversal"devastating to women all across New Hampshire, all across the country and for all people who really believe in our individual freedoms.”
