The Republican candidates in key races are still struggling to find a consistent message on abortion, facing Democratic attacks on the issue. Bernie Moreno, a Republican Senate candidate in Ohio, recently made comments that highlighted the party’s ongoing challenges with abortion as a campaign issue. Democrats have been hammering Republicans on abortion across the country, launching more TV ads on the issue than Republicans. The GOP is concerned about falling into the same trap as they did in 2022 when they failed to counter abortion attacks, costing them crucial seats.
Chief political analyst Chuck Todd examines the race between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris, noting that Harris has been closing the gap on key issues like the economy and the border. Harris also has an advantage on the issue of abortion rights, leading among certain demographics. Latino voters are a potential area of concern for the Trump campaign, as they have shown increased support for Trump compared to previous elections.
Overall, the race is described as a jump ball with a slight advantage to Harris, as she has room to grow among various demographics. The remaining weeks will be crucial in defining Harris for the remaining undecided voters. Other top stories include threats against both Trump and Harris, a bipartisan report on a Secret Service mistake, and a funding bill to avert a government shutdown. Harris’ campaign endorsements from celebrities and a Muslim political group despite policy opposition are also highlighted.
