The Republican Party is fortunate in its opponents. Having been told as recently as Monday that American voters prioritize the state of the economy over the question of abortion by a ratio of 44:5, the president of the United States has decided to close his party’s febrile midterm campaign by focusing hard on . . . abortion. Even now, with the public roaring its disapproval, Biden is unable to get the message.
“In a major speech three weeks before the midterms, Biden makes it clear that abortion rights is the core Democratic message,” blared the Washington Post on Tuesday. The London Telegraph was more blunt in its assessment: “Joe Biden rallies voters around abortion rights as his party sinks in midterm polls.” Indeed so.
