Media elites have been quick to blame Republicans’ poor performance in the 2022 Midterms on the abortion issue. For example, Politico reported, “A predicted ‘red wave’ crashed into wall of abortion rights support . . .” in November.
But Senate Republicans hardly fought back on the abortion issue as Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) refused to even support federal legislation to end just 5% of abortions nationwide.
Nevertheless, media elites and GOP insiders are urging Republicans to run even further away from the abortion issue.
