CNN’s Borger: Democrats Will Try to Make Abortion a Major Election Issue in the Midterms Because They Can’t Campaign on a Strong Economy

‘This is a cultural issue the Democrats will raise’

EXCERPT:

BORGER: "You know, Joe Biden in the past has had some troubles with the issue of abortion. We know that he’s a devout Catholic. We know that he’s shifted positions in the past, and so there have been some questions about what he was willing to do. I think those are now out the window. This is a category 5 hurricane, and he’s got a midterm election coming up. You saw that they released a statement earlier. I fully expect at some point that he’s going to answer questions about this, and I think we can also say, in looking at the political situation we are in, the economy is very, very difficult for him right now, but also remember that cultural issues matter more in elections than they used to, and they have been raised very much in the run-up to the midterm elections. This is a cultural issue the Democrats will raise and suburban women voters who are not living on the edge, suburban women voters will react to this. Whether it’s going to be enough, who knows."
