This influx of campaign cash is the latest evidence Democrats point to as they argue voters will deliver them upset victories up and down the ballot in November
In Georgia, challenger Jen Jordan beat her GOP counterpart Chris Carr in fundraising for the quarter that included the Roe decision.
The Democratic Attorneys General Association — the party’s only national campaign arm to explicitly require its candidates to support abortion rights — usually trails its GOP counterpart in fundraising. But in the second quarter of this year, when, $6.47 million to $6.3 million. And while Republicans’ fundraising ticked up 7 percent from the previous quarter this year, Democrats’ shot up 70 percent. And Ford says that included sizable increases in both small-dollar and major donations.
“Something can be popular but not particularly salient, and on the salience scale, abortion still falls far below economic issues that confront every American every day,” argued Mark Weaver, the former Deputy Attorney General of Ohio and a Republican strategist working on campaigns around the country. “The question of how much regulation will fall on abortion will affect some Americans, but not all of them and not every day.
“Just like in the state of Kansas, in the entire country the vast majority of people believe in the right to abortion care,” he said. “We don’t typically ask politicians for medical advice and we don’t need them in our exam rooms. The government shouldn’t be making health care decisions. The people of Kansas have a history of saying that and we’ll continue to say that.”
And in Michigan, Attorney General Dana Nessel — a Democrat who has talked about her own abortion and made the issue a centerpiece of her campaign — isher Republican challenger Matt DePerno, and now has roughly 20 times as much cash on hand. In the week following the Supreme Court’s decision, her campaign reported $150,000 in donations, the majority from first-time women donors.
