Biden keeps focus on abortion as Dobbs shows signs of fizzling as voter priority

President Joe Biden will amplify what Republican majorities in Congress could mean for abortion access as the economy cements itself as a top voter concern three weeks before Election Day.
Biden underscoring abortion access during a Democratic National Committee-hosted political event in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday conflicts with party strategists who contend candidates should campaign on a broader issue set if they want to be competitive this midterm cycle.
The GOP is confident the party will perform well in traditional Democratic strongholds because of its focus on "the issues that matter to Americans," according to Republican National Committee spokeswoman Nicole Morales. And that could be true for House races in blue states, such as Connecticut, New York, Oregon, and Rhode Island, where local laws protect abortion access, unlike the battleground of Michigan, where voters will decide whether to overturn its anti-abortion measure.
