Why Roe being overturned before midterms would be a double-edged sword for Dems

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., joined by Senate democrats, addresses the media on the steps of the U.S. Capitol on the leaked draft opinion indicating the Supreme Court will overturn Roe v. Wade, on May 3, 2022.Noah RothmanYou’ve heard it all before: The political environment heading into the midterm election season favors Republicans.

Democrats have struggled to navigate the issues that dominate American minds: the economy, the cost of living, crime and general maladministration in Washington. As late as that Monday morning, the Democrats’ hopes for a reprieve from the relentless news cycle were thin. The party wanted to turn Republican culture warring against the GOP by highlighting the good and noble work done by teachers, for example. They intended to make whatdescribed as “little-known Michigan state Sen. Mallory McMorrow” into a national star to leverage her attack on an emerging far-right claim that sexual education in elementary schools is tantamount to child abuse.

In short, Democrats were desperate. Their strategy of ignoring voters’ priorities, overestimating their ability to hijack the national conversation, and maybe benefiting from anonly the fates could provide was not a strategy at all. It was a prayer. But with the leak of that Supreme Court draft opinion the fates may have delivered for Democrats. However, the opportunity that’s been bestowed on Joe Biden’s beleaguered party is as much a potential blessing as it is a curse.

The draft opinion sending the issue of abortion rights back to the individual states to decide provided a glimmer of hope in an otherwise bleak landscape for Democrats. The political press echoed what center-left political observers had been anticipating for months: This sweeping draft opinion, if it resembles the court’s final decision, could “

Rki009 Yikes. So the loss of human rights for women, is really a *good thing* politically for at least one major party?

Everything Dems do is a double-edged sword.

Abortion is murder. Shooting ppl is murder. Kill others without a conscience is straight murder.

What a sick country the US is. Where else can u also buy a gun at a corner store ffs

No matter the subject! They are bias media creating Hate and Discontent in America!😎

But it won't be. It will be about how badly Biden has handled the economy, energy, food shortages, inflation, the border. But keep deluding yourselves.

If it’s overturned it’s because Democrats took away my body my choice with forced vaccination that’s not proven 100% I no longer trust this party it’s to far to the left and does not stand up for individual rights they use to be the party of the working class no more elites now

Could a photo of Democrats standing with and behind Schumer NOT include the Republiklan member, Kristen Sinema

The shootings (unannounced on MSNBC twitter, way to go 'newsguys') were a convenient distraction. Just like when Trump was in deep shit, viola! a shooting would happen. Here, they distracted from supreme court and the 'conservatives' who misrepresented to get appointed.

I sure hope so, the Republican Party is so bad right now no one in his right mind would elect them to power.

Like COVID motivated the nation to vote, also it was made easier but Biden won with the highest popular vote ever recorded! The people are out there and now our citizens need to stand up for rights for ALL!

Because there are a lot of Americans that are not THAT evil

Message- do you want a referendum on the past elections or the future? 2016 was lost and the SCOTUS was packed with MAGA. We can’t change that now. But we can prevent MAGA congress from passing law banning abortion nationwide. That is their mission when in power. Want that?

Of course there should be restrictions on late term abortions. But the question for concerned voters is do you prefer legal, safe & rate abortion or a future without choice? Because under MAGA rule, that’s what’s coming. senate MAGA will end choice nationwide if in power

dscc harrisonjaime SenateDems HouseDemocrats You need to READ this article VERY CAREFULLY if YOU want to continue to lead.

Moron alert. Abortion is not being made illegal. Just not a National Law. Go to a Blue State and have at it

The Democrat Party is over. It no longer exists as a US political entity, but has been taken over by subversive groups intent on destabilizing the US. More and more citizens are waking up to this reality and are moving toward a conservative stance. GOP wins big

Biden and his Team plus Democrats and the Left's poor policies have created crisis after crisis: BIDEN FAILING AMERICA -Covid Failure -Jobs crisis -Energy Crisis -Inflation Crisis -Border Crisis -Afghanistan Crisis -Confidence crisis -Iran Screw up

Abortion is not an issue that sways votes…. They picked the wrong thing leak. If your pro choice or pro life or whatever… you probably aren’t changing your mind. Especially if you are smart enough to look up and see what’s going on around the country.

Remind folks … the church doesn’t recognize you in the womb. Stillborn n miscarriage cant be baptized..why… not a life🤷🏻‍♂️

it's not enough.

Odd we have not seen or heard of the protest hestedfsy b being massive with millions in the streets ....were they so poorly attended they don't want video seen

Same old same old...

Click bait low life reporters spinning up citizens. It's a f*cking draft people! Even so it's not GOP. It's the Supreme Court and they have the final say over Law. Abortion is not a Federal issue. State. Move on haters.

Not a double edge sword for babies.

'The GOP-dominated Supreme Court is about to toss out a constitutional right that women have had for half a century. Here's why that's bad for Joe Biden.' 🧐🙄

Look at at the men voting to overturn something that can be stopped by addressing themselves, their sons and nephew and brother. Men cause babies to be conceived. Make it illegal to have sex with women out of marriage. Make incest punishment by life in prison. that will help alot

Hey Dems, where in this picture is the diversity you so loudly preach about? You and the Right share one thing, power. You don't want to lose it. Therefore You and your ilk will do the bare minimum to retain the power you have. Prove me wrong. You can't. Sad.

Literally WHO F’ING CARES about the political horse race It’s OUR LIVES. Please, at least include that in the lede.

Republicans want to secure the wins for themselves

GOP's new midterm attack: Blaming Biden for formula shortageParents are suddenly running into bare supermarket and pharmacy shelves in part because of ongoing supply disruptions and a recent safety recall. UK press is reporting another side of the story. Just cross the border illegally to get free formula I guess the only solution is to put the possibly contaminated formula back on the shelves. Sort of playing Russian Roulette with your baby's life. Only some of it would be poisonous.
