The Republicans are publicly celebrating the overturn of the abortion law, but some are privately worried that the timing could affect the election.
According to interviews with more than a dozen GOP strategists and officials, some Republicans are worried that the abortion ruling could give Democrats a reason to attack them.
John Thomas said that this is not a conversation the Republicans want to have. We would like to have a discussion about the economy. We would like to have a discussion about Joe Biden and other things. This is a problem for Republicans.
The Supreme Court ruling overturns a precedent that legalized abortion nationwide.
According to national polls, the majority of Americans believe that abortion should be legal in all or part of the country.
The ruling may shift the focus away from the economy and inflation, which has been a top issue for voters.
According to a recent Washington Post-ABC News poll, voters mostly disapprove of President Joe Biden's handling of the economy and inflation.
Everything was moving in our direction. Gas is more expensive. A former Republican congressman said that inflation is a big problem.
The only thing the Democrats have going for them is changing the law that has been in place for 40 years. Can they turn that into a big event? The answer is probably "Yes."
They could lose 30 seats instead of 45. There will be a few seats that Republicans would have won if the abortion rights decision had not been made.
During his presidency, Donald Trump appointed three conservative justices to the Supreme Court.
According to a report, Trump privately said that he thought it would be bad for Republicans to overturn the abortion law.
According to The New York Times, Democratic candidates in several key states plan to make abortion rights a priority in their campaigns.
Polls show that abortion will be a more important issue for voters in the future than it has been in the past.
Some people are worried that the Biden's party could increase the votes of young people and suburban women.
Some people think abortion is less important to average voters than economic issues.
"You go to any diner in America, and nobody's talking about this," Dave Carney said.
That isn't what's driving the discussion. Real people, working people, people who vote, are talking about the incompetence of the president, and then they go down a list.
The recent baby formula shortage is one of the issues.
