This is how the political pendulum has swung swing back In 2023, Democrats regained a majority in the House of Representatives and a majority in the state Senate. Inciting their fear of abortion was the key to their victory.
The Virginia Democratic Party’s message on this issue is similar to Vice President Kamala Harris’ message heading into 2024. While President Trump is trying to campaign on the economy, inflation and illegal immigration, Harris wants this to be a referendum on abortion. Her results in Virginia could predict how voters in battleground states rank these issues.
