The \u2063landscape around abortion and its political implications \u2064is\u200b evolving, particularly following the changes in the Republican platform that seem to\u2064 be\u2062 distancing itself from the\u2062 hardline positions previously associated with Trump. <\/p>\n<p>Key developments in the political arena\u200d include ongoing primary races in Arizona, where candidates \u2062like \u2064Rep. \u2063Ruben Gallego \u200band Kari Lake are poised to face off in highly anticipated \u2063contests for the Senate seat \u2064being vacated by Kyrsten \u2062Sinema. The fallout\u200b from Trump&#8217;s and\u2064 Vance&#8217;s\u200d competing endorsements in the Republican primaries underscores the intra-party \u2063tensions that may influence the upcoming elections.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally,\u200c the potential reforms to the \u200cSupreme \u200cCourt\u200b proposed\u200c by \u2064President\u200d Biden \u200dare \u200ca source\u200d of both enthusiasm and hesitation among Democrats, reflecting a\u2063 complex\u200b balance of addressing voter\u2062 concerns about the court while avoiding electoral\u2062 risks. Polls \u200csuggest that \u2064while \u200babortion\u200c remains a significant issue for many\u2064 Democrats, it is overshadowed by concerns about the\u200b economy and\u200b immigration, which\u200d could impact\u2063 campaign \u200bstrategies leading up to the election.<\/p>\n<p>Please\u2063 let me know if you would like a more detailed analysis on any specific \u2063topic or further insights \u2062into the political landscape!  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Wake up with the Washington Examiner: How Kamala wants to run, Biden&rsquo;s election grenade, and a desert showdown<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1716990\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Kamala Harris &mdash; the face of abortion<\/h2>\n<p>Time is ticking away for Vice President and presumed presidential nominee <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/kamala-harris\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Kamala Harris\">Kamala Harris<\/a> <\/strong>to define herself.

Her rollout has featured a fundraising blitz that scooped up more than $200 million in a little over a week. <a href=\"https:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/democrats\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Democrats\">Democrats<\/a> have added tens of thousands of volunteers. And voters are turning up to Harris&rsquo;s rallies, showing a sense of excitement and urgency that was lacking with Biden.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It&rsquo;s not clear how much of that excitement can be attributed to Harris painting herself as a staunch abortion-rights proponent. She has been the face of pushing for expanded abortion access and the primary attack dog to snap at the Supreme Court in the wake of its decision to overturn <em>Roe v. Wade <\/em>and send the authority to regulate abortions back to states.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Whether it&rsquo;s the animating feature of her campaign or simply her preferred narrative, Harris is using abortion as the centerpiece of her quest to the White House. And Republicans appear to be happy letting her stump on that message, banking on the idea that abortion is not the game-changer it was for Democrats in 2022 and that the party&rsquo;s position is too extreme for centrist voters to stomach.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In the second part of the <em>Washington Examiner&rsquo;s <\/em>series exploring the myriad ways Harris is fighting to define herself with fewer than 100 days until Election Day, Healthcare Reporter <strong>Gabrielle Etzel <\/strong>broke down the vice president&rsquo;s past, present, and future record on abortion.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Just as former President<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title> Donald Trump<\/a> rose to political prominence with a focus on immigration, so too Harris is building her campaign on restoring national abortion protections in the aftermath of the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/dobbs-v-jackson-womens-health-organization\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title> <em>Dobbs v. Jackson Women&rsquo;s Health Organization<\/em><\/a><em> <\/em>decision.

Social conservatives are growing increasingly discontented with the Republican Party&rsquo;s changes to the platform, which include dropping any reference to national-level restrictions on the procedure and eliminating language about the sanctity of life.&rdquo;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>There were few abortion battles to fight in navy blue California while Harris was the district attorney of San Francisco and later the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/nevada-trump-campaign-says-clark-county-registrar-joe-gloria-hiding-from-subpoena-service\/\" title=\"Nevada: Trump Campaign Says Clark County Registrar Joe Gloria Hiding From Subpoena Service\">state attorney general<\/a>. However, she did make headlines in 2015, leading an early fight against <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/mcconnell-unloads-on-bidens-radical-and-underqualified-hhs-nominee-xavier-becerra\/\" title=\"McConnell Unloads On Biden\u2019s \u2018Radical And Underqualified\u2019 HHS Nominee Xavier Becerra\">crisis pregnancy centers<\/a> that has played out on a grander scale nationwide in recent years.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;In 2015, Harris<a href=\"https:\/\/19thnews.org\/2024\/07\/kamala-harris-california-prosecutor-abortion\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title> advocated<\/a> legislation targeting crisis pregnancy centers, or CPCs, as purveyors of misinformation &mdash; a position that has gained favor among Democrats across the country in recent years,&rdquo; Gabrielle wrote.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;The law<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sandiegouniontribune.com\/2015\/10\/13\/pro-life-clinics-challenge-abortion-info-law\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title> required<\/a> CPCs to disclose to women that they were not licensed medical facilities and mandated that other clinics could provide abortions. The U.S. Supreme Court struck down the legislation in 2018,&rdquo; she added.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Harris has kept a hard line on abortion since then, with a highly publicized investigation into an anti-abortion activist in 2016, advocating codifying <em>Roe <\/em>if she was elected president on the stump in 2019, and the last two years excoriating the Supreme Court and pumping up Democratic attempts to lock in abortion rights across the country.<\/p>\n<p>While Republicans will chime in and push back on Harris occasionally, there is little daylight between the parties about whether they should let her cloak herself in an abortion-rights banner. Not least because, as Gabrielle wrote this morning, the policy issue has fallen down the list of things voters say they are concerned about this cycle.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Although Harris&rsquo;s campaign will do her best to make abortion the primary issue until November, polling data from this year suggests that the issue pales in comparison to both the economy and immigration, two issues that advantage Republicans,&rdquo; she wrote.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Only<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kff.org\/womens-health-policy\/poll-finding\/kff-health-tracking-poll-march-2024-abortion-in-the-2024-election-and-beyond\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title> 1 in 8<\/a> voters ranked abortion as their most important issue in a March KFF poll.

Political explosions can be mixed. Biden&rsquo;s plan to &ldquo;reform&rdquo; the Supreme Court squarely fits into the mixed explosion category as Democrats can crow they are marching toward the changes they&rsquo;ve been demanding and vulnerable incumbents grit their teeth for the electoral storm headed their way.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Senate Reporter <strong>Ramsey Touchberry <\/strong>and White House Reporter <strong>Haisten Willis <\/strong>are both up with fascinating reports this morning that put the delicate situation Biden has placed his party in into perspective.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>The good<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Faith and trust in the Supreme Court are waning. Democrats argue it is due to partisan decisions that reflect an unhealthy thirst for power by the Republican-appointed justices who dominate the 6-3 court. Republicans point to repeated attempts by Democrats and their allies in the media to discredit the court and its decisions as a primary driver of the growing doubts voters tell pollsters they have.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Regardless of the root cause of the problem, Biden&rsquo;s proposals, which have next to no chance of passing, give campaigning Democrats some juice for the trail. And, of course, a lot of that verve comes in the form of abortion politics.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;The Supreme Court initiative is all about abortion,&rdquo; Democratic strategist <strong>Brad Bannon<\/strong> told Haisten. &ldquo;The best way for Democrats to use this is to remind voters that Trump picked three Supreme Court justices who made it possible to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/how-bidens-supreme-court-reform-push-might-play-on-the-campaign-trail-washington-examiner\/\" title=\"How Biden\u2019s Supreme Court reform push might play on the campaign trail - Washington Examiner\">deny women reproductive rights<\/a>.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>The plans have something in them for any Democrat who wants to see changes. There are the procedural questions, term limits, and the messaging component it offers. Harris, as Gabrielle wrote, is making abortion the centerpiece of her campaign, and Biden offered another tool for her belt on Monday morning.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>And Democrats picked up on the opportunity straight away.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;The rule of law is what separates democracy from other forms of government,&rdquo; Sen. <strong>Mazie Hirono<\/strong> (D-HI) said. &ldquo;The proposals endorsed by the president today will strengthen the rule of law, and Americans&rsquo; faith in our democracy.

Following in the footsteps of President Joe Biden, who has extensive political experience as both a senator and vice president, could present challenges for Harris, who has transitioned from district attorney to attorney general to senator. However, she hasn&#8217;t faced significant issues yet; her campaign launch included an impressive fundraising effort that raised over $200 million within just over a week. The Democratic Party has also mobilized tens of thousands of volunteers, and there is noticeable enthusiasm among voters at her rallies\u2014something that was less evident during Biden&#8217;s events.<\/p>\n<p>Harris is positioning herself as a strong supporter of abortion rights and has taken on the role of leading critic against the Supreme Court following its decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. Whether this focus on abortion will be central to her campaign or simply part of her narrative remains uncertain; nonetheless, it is clear that she intends to make it a key issue in her bid for the presidency. Republicans seem willing to let Harris champion this cause while banking on the belief that abortion may not have the same impact on voters as it did in 2022 and that their stance may alienate moderate voters.<\/p>\n<p>In an analysis by Healthcare Reporter Gabrielle Etzel featured in this series about how Harris is working to define herself with less than 100 days until Election Day, it&#8217;s noted that just like former President Donald Trump gained prominence through immigration issues, Harris aims to build her campaign around restoring national abortion protections after recent court rulings. This marks a shift from her previous attempt at running for president in 2019 when she struggled to appeal effectively across different factions within the Democratic Party.<\/p>\n<p>While California offered few contentious battles regarding abortion during Harris\u2019s tenure as district attorney and state attorney general, she did gain attention back in 2015 by advocating against crisis pregnancy centers accused of spreading misinformation\u2014a stance now widely accepted among Democrats nationwide.<\/p>\n<p>Since then, Harris has maintained a firm position on abortion rights through various actions including investigating anti-abortion activists and pledging during past campaigns to codify Roe v. Wade if elected president. Although Republicans occasionally challenge her views publicly regarding this issue, they largely allow her space since polling indicates other topics like economic concerns are currently more pressing for voters than reproductive rights.<\/p>\n<p>As Democrats prepare their strategies leading up toward November elections amid Biden\u2019s proposals aimed at reforming the Supreme Court\u2014which many see as unlikely but politically advantageous\u2014there are signs some party members are hesitant about certain aspects such as term limits for justices due primarily because these reforms would require constitutional amendments which could complicate their own positions.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile tonight marks primary elections taking place across Arizona where Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) faces off against former news anchor Kari Lake ahead of what promises one fierce Senate race come November following Sen.Kyrsten Sinema\u2019s retirement announcement earlier this year.<\/p>\n<p>In summary: As Kamala Harris seeks clarity around defining herself before upcoming elections while navigating complex political landscapes involving both party dynamics surrounding critical issues like reproductive rights alongside broader electoral strategies being employed by fellow Democrats\u2014including those related directly towards judicial reforms\u2014the stakes remain high heading into crucial contests ahead!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2702,"featured_media":2315894,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/kamala-harris-face-abortion.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[36629,36630,36192,36631,35107],"class_list":["post-2315893","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-biden2024","tag-electionnews","tag-kamalaharris","tag-politicalanalysis","tag-washingtonexaminer"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/kamala-harris-face-abortion.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2315893","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2702"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2315893"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2315893\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315894"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2315893"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2315893"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2315893"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
