the 2024 campaign and talking about this more with us joining us now cnn s senior political analyst john avalon, and cnn political commentator and host of pbs firing line margaret hoover. guys great to see you. as always, we appreciate it. um john, you know this issue really motivated democratic voters and 2022. but it seems to be a battle that a lot of conservatives want to keep having even though it might not be the best thing for their own political health. what do you think? um i think the message to voters keep seeming to send as it s the extremism. stupid i mean, you know, this is republicans have a significant win from their perspective and removing a constitutional right to an abortion. but most voters look at this and say 7% of americans believe it should be safe, legal and rare, basically in line with the previous status quo. uh um and yet taking the wind. they they re judges keep,
to schumer and i guess this ruling in general, are we getting a lot of comments or they little reluctant to weigh in just yet. so far, there s been no response in reply to what chuck schumer had to say today and that s been really indicative. i d say of the broader reaction to this ruling. democrats immediately seized on this and began railing against the court s decision, and some democrats like senator ron wyden and congresswoman alexandria ocasio cortez even went so far as to say that president biden should ignore it altogether now republicans, meanwhile, and republican leadership have been virtually silent on this issue so far, and that is something that you are pointed out on his call this morning. let s take a listen i think the republicans know that these their decisions that dobbs decision, this court decision are wildly unpopular with the american people. they re probably in least in some of the survey data on popular with a large number of republicans, so what? they are
in the shop. pisces people off about politics. yeah yeah. yeah and john. i mean, speaking of that in a different state and tennessee the decision to expel those two young black lawmakers are taking part in a protest over gun regulations. gun reform representative gloria johnson, who was white. she survived expulsion. by one vote. i tried to ask fellow democratic lawmaker earlier this hour about this. he didn t want to go down that road and say, well, it was because of race that these two were expelled while she was not. what do you think? i mean, it just doesn t it certainly feels like that. it s certainly played a role in it played a part in it. i mean, how can you deny it? but that s what she said on cnn the other night. yeah so you know, i ll take her word for it . um, but again, it s an example of self defeating politics, um, on republicans part where they elevated these two young men
republicans control the house, so it s essentially dead on arrival. atlanta train thank you very much and programming. out stick with us. in our next hour, i ll be joined by democratic senator dick durbin to talk about this issue and other pressing matters. stay tuned for that coming up in about an hour from now. how soon might the supreme court deal with these competing rulings? that s next, also ahead new insight into how disney outmaneuvered an effort to take it to the magic kingdom as florida governor, ron desantis lost some of his political magic. with the mouse house and later just days after taiwan s president met with us lawmakers, china s military starts what they say are planned exercises around taiwan. you re live in the cnn newsroom. a new car loses about 10% o of its vae that many y you drive off the l. for more. that s why farmers new car replacement pays to replace it with a new one of the same make and model get a whole lot
you know, taking down an abortion pills pushing for a national ban on abortion. that s the position that some maximalist in the senate have taken some people running for president, and so there s a sense that this goes against common sense and individual freedom and fundamental way where people feel right has been taken away. so as long as as republicans keep pushing for a maximalist position, you re gonna see a pushback from folks who had previously been sound on the issue because they thought it was some law, which it was until three supreme court justices reverse themselves. yeah margaret, i mean, last year, it was described as the dog catching the car, but it s it seems like they want to keep catching the car. jim there is no issue. ah! i think even donald trump where republicans are more in denial about the negative effects this is having on the party and their viability to win elections at the state level at the federal level. i mean this issue when, when roe v. wade was overturn
