Republicans continue to struggle with the abortion issue: A Perspective from the Politics Desk

The Republican Party is still struggling to navigate the issue of abortion as Democratic attacks intensify in key races. Bernie Moreno’s recent comments on abortion have highlighted the challenges faced by GOP candidates, with Democrats launching multiple TV ads on the issue. In contrast, Republicans have been slow to proactively address abortion, which could hurt them in the upcoming elections. Meanwhile, chief political analyst Chuck Todd examines the race between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris, noting that Harris has closed the gap on key issues like the economy and the border. Harris also holds a significant advantage on abortion rights, according to polls. While the race remains a jump ball with a slight advantage to Harris, there is still room for growth and defining Harris among undecided voters. Today’s top stories include Trump and Harris receiving presidential-level protection from the Secret Service, bipartisan reports on the Trump assassination attempt, and House passing a funding bill to avert a government shutdown. Harris also vowed to govern as a pragmatist and make new investments in manufacturing. Additionally, GOP Rep. Elise Stefanik is leading a charge to increase the number of Republican women in the chamber, while Harris’ campaign is receiving endorsements from celebrities. Emgage Action, a Muslim political group, endorsed Harris despite opposition to her Middle East policy. Political T-shirts are also gaining popularity as a form of expression.
