It s not about their own political standing. i totally agree. i think it will factor into the general election, should they get the nominee after his justices rolled back abortion rights in the biggest step backwards for women s rights in this country impossibly history. the technical thing i want to get your thoughts on. one of the things here is that republican primary voters are hermetically sealed in a unit of information. i don t know anything about the e. jean carroll case. it s not getting covered on fox and staff. you have an opportunity, if you re rhonda santas or nikki haley, to introduce it to them. this is what trump has done to desantis. he s introduced a case against desantis and are on the right
To convince voters that these achievements that he s been working so hard to sell are in fact good and should do deserve four more years. but that s going to be you know the note he has to hit. i think his oland point it will be very interesting to see if he leans into the abortion issue, given that it was so notably not quite missing, but almost missing from that state of the union address. he very much does want to run on this this, you know, ambitious legislative agenda that he s managed to pass. uh and then, and so the question is, can he convince the american public that he does need formula for years to finish the job? i think one thing we re going to see a lot of in this campaign is that it is going to be about contrast between the gop. i mean, the situation is definitely different than four years ago, where biden means premise for running was to stanch the bleeding to turn the country in a different direction, too. turn down the temperature and now, especially with the gop s mo
The lower court orders that actually restricted access to the drug. so i think you know if they did it in a clean way, at this point, very early stage of this controversy, the merits of the case have not been heard about fda authorization for the drug. if they were to just put everything on hold. let the litigation play out. nothing would change. for women and physicians for access to the drug, but if they denied the biden administration s request immediately, certain restrictions would go into place and that would be in terms of the timing of when a woman could obtain it in a pregnancy and other rules for availability, but it would remain on the shelves sarah and the case would continue to play out. the next stage will be a hearing in a lower court in may. but this first crucial step by the nine justices who last waiting on abortion to cut back abortion rights is quite anticipated. sarah and i think you hit the nail on the head. and you said
Those that ran on restricts it in michigan and pennsylvania and wisconsin, not to mention colorado or washington. but in the states that have actually rolled back abortion rights and have been part of the broader rollback of rights that we have seen over the last couple years, there was little pushback against the republicans. the governors got reelected in states like florida and ohio and georgia and texas that have restricted abortion. so the question for delaware sab fits, is he getting a false signal. this did do fine at the ballot box in the red states. but those aren t enough to win the presidency. the decisive swing states, even arizona, it was pretty emphatically rejektd. the white house believes that ultimately this agenda will not prove popular and the best way to fight the culture wars is to disengage as much as possible for them because voters are exhausted with them and would prefer politicians to focus on
Engaged in a systematic effort to roll back many aspects of the right s revolution of the past six decades. what we are seeing is truly extraordinary and spreading throughout the red states with desantis at the front of the line on issues like limiting what teachers can say about race and gender and sexual orientation, rolling back lgbtq rights, making it tougher to vote, eliminating requirements for gun control, touching penalties for public protests. you talk to groups like pan america, a free speech group, what s happening in terms of political control over education in florida is unprecedented. as you point out that agenda while it did very well in the red states in the midterm election none of the states other than arizona that rolled back abortion rights, saw a backlash against republicans, that same agenda was pretty clearly and unequivocally rejected in not only blue states, but the key purple states, michigan, wisconsin, pennsylvania, arizona. so that is the question. certainl
