Nevada Governor Steve Sisolak (D) was busy rallying about reproduction on Friday with Rep. Jackie Rosen (D-NV).

Thank you, American taxpayers, that was a<em> real joy at the dinner table.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Yet, in Nevada, there isn\u2019t really a fight. <strong>It\u2019s a fake fight.<\/strong> The state constitution was amended in 1990 to allow abortion up to 24 weeks, and state law allows for later than 24 weeks for specific reasons. So, SCOTUS kicking the issue back to the states doesn\u2019t mean much here. To change the state constitution, it would have to go to ballot, <em><strong>twice<\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Spoiler alert: it\u2019s not on the ballot, but a bunch of liars will be. When they aren\u2019t too busy clutching pearls over being asked basic questions, Dems-n-friends like to prey on the emotions of uninformed voters to win power.<\/p>\n<p>Although their silence screams the loudest, Nevada\u2019s Democrats aren\u2019t alone in their aversion to the Biden Administration on the campaign trail. Ten-term congressional Rep. Tim Ryan, the Democratic nominee for Ohio\u2019s Senate seat, missed Biden\u2019s early July visit to Cleveland. Democratic candidate for Governor of Georgia, Stacey Abrams <a href=\"https:\/\/redstate.com\/joesquire\/2022\/01\/11\/so-why-is-stacey-abrams-dodging-joe-biden-n504634\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">skipped<\/a> an Atlanta event in January, where the president called on senators to eliminate the filibuster and nationalize election laws.<\/p>\n<p>While admin-allergy has been spotted in the swing states, it\u2019s easy to confuse the Democrats\u2019 absences and aversions toward the Biden cabinet as not wanting to alienate Hispanic voting blocks. In the Silver State, where Hispanics are anticipated to swing the election, abortion polled among the least important issues to Latino voters. Worry not, our Dems are not bowing out from a fight <em>that isn\u2019t one;<\/em> they are just avoiding constituent questions and all things Biden in their re-election campaigns.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When Vice President Kamala Harris held an abortion roundtable in Nevada, it was poorly attended by top Democrats in the state.
