economy. but we talked so much about the economy in american politics because conventional wisdom leads us down that road, but we are seeing in past elections, past and recent elections like in 2022, that there are other major issues that are starting to play a deciding factor in how voters vote, and one of those issuesis in how voters vote, and one of those issues is abortion access, and we are seeing that abortion is very much playing a huge role in american politics. in fact, you have a lot of anti abortion groups going after donald trump because they think he has not been vocal enough on the issue, whereas you havejoe biden and the democrats continuing to say we will protect your right to have an abortion in this country . of italy, that all happened, you know, that was let out of the bag when roe v wade was overturned last year, but we have seen that the come very much a deciding factor in us elections since. , ., ,
