Trump Risks Losing Suburban Women Over Abortion

Abortion is the most powerful issue driving suburban women who could decide the presidential election. Now President Biden is trying to harness that energy, while Donald Trump is looking to redirect it.

A recent Wall Street Journal poll of seven battleground states found that 39% of suburban women cite abortion as a make-or-break issue for their vote—making it by far the most motivating issue for the group. Nearly three-quarters of them say the procedure should be legal all or most of the time, and a majority thinks Trump’s policies are too restrictive.

Abortion has been top of mind for voters since the 2022 Supreme Court decision eliminating federal protections for the procedure, which unfurled a messy patchwork of state laws across the country.

Those moves are reverberating in the suburban areas where women helped deliver the White House to Trump in 2016 and swung it to Biden in 2020.

Trump, meanwhile, has struggled to find his footing on the issue. While he has repeatedly bragged about the 2022 decision, saying Friday, “We broke Roe v. Wade,” he has also sought distance by saying decisions should be made by the states. But the Arizona ruling underscored the risks with that strategy: After initially saying it was a state issue, Trump later said the Arizona court had gone too far and that the governor and state legislature should “remedy what has happened.”


No wonder Republicans are running away from the issue. Even Conservatives like Kari Lake are disavowing the Arizona abortion ban ruling.

I hope the Biden campaign keeps hammering away at the fact that Trump has to take responsibility for the SC decision to overturn Roe vs Wade.
Pretty sad that the election could be won over the right to kill your child. Just saying.
 
Trump isn't risking the loss of women. It's past the risk stage. He already lost them. Nothing he might say now can excuse what he has already done.
We've covered this before.

 
Of the top 10 issues most important to the American people, Dems are losing on 9 out of 10. Pinning their hopes on killing babies in the womb isn't going to save them.
 
So now abortion isn’t a big deal to you?

Bullshit
You have really never paid attention to anything I ever said. You just made up your mind.
The issue of abortion has been returned to the states. Fix it.

No, it will hinge on people's right to choose. You know the thing that you idiots pay lip service to? That one.
 
Yep. I was quite accurate in my assessment though wasn't I? No one was even raising the issue at the time and it was a strange issue to raise when the W.H was run by Dems who were against this issue and fund raised on it.
What the fuck are you babbling about? When Roe vs Wade was overturned, Trump was president. A SC where justices nominated by Trump helped to overturn RvsW. What has Dems to do with it?

Stick to Canadian issues. You suck at this.

RvW was overturned a couple of years ago. Trump was NOT president then.
