From Philip_Elliott: The sweeping failure of a ballot measure pushed by abortion opponents suggests Ohio might be more purple than Democratic strategists realize
. The measure failed along the lines of 57-43. That means the citizen-led ballot initiative to add a right to abortion access to the state constitution will only need the support of a simple majority to pass in November. Given Tuesday’s results, that seems eminently reachable.of states whose voters have shown a strong interest in protecting or expanding abortion rights in the wake of the Supreme Court’s gutting of a federal right to that medical procedure.
But it’s Ohio, no? The state that was an afterthought to the Democratic Party’s biggest donors in recent years. If out-of-state dollars couldinto the state to turn back efforts to thrash abortion rights, why couldn’t they do the same for candidates? That’s the question a lot of Washington will be asking this week with major implications for the White House and control of the Senate.
So far, the Biden campaign has gone on the air to the tune of about $1.6 million in eight states, but has not spent any money on ads in Ohio. In briefings with donors, top Biden advisers have cast Arizona, Nevada, Wisconsin, Georgia, Michigan, and Pennsylvania as their route to win. They’re also tiptoeing into
with its shifting demographics and some inside Biden’s orbit have a parochial interest in playing in Florida, home to Trump, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, and Miami Mayor Francis Suarez.That instinct is not entirely irrational. Ohio, objectively, has grown more partisan in recent years. Rural counties have deepened their hue of red and the urban ones have gone darker blue. But the shift leftward in Ohio’s cities is lagging others in the region.
