New York Democrats are setting their sights on voters who care about abortion access to boost support in their efforts to flip House seats back to blue in 2024.
In the 2022 midterm elections, the Democrats lost seven battleground House seats, four of which were flipped from blue to red in New York, with other losses in strong blue states, including California, Oregon, and New Jersey.In the aftermath of the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade and states subsequently adopting their own abortion restrictions, ranging from six-week limits to total bans, many are expecting abortion rights to be a central point of the next election cycle.
Allies of House Democrats are already gearing up to push abortion access in New York, with the House Majority PAC — the Democrats' main House political action committee — budgeting $45 million just in the Empire State in 2024. Pro-abortion rights advocates believe Republicans may actually help Democrats in their fight to restore blue seats in the House, as the GOP's continued efforts to push anti-abortion legislation will serve as a spotlight for any Democratic-led campaigns.
“This is an issue that’s not going away because Republicans are going to keep pushing the envelope and keep pushing the envelope,” House Majority PAC Executive Director Abby Curran Horrell said.“I remain convinced that there’s going to be a move to a national abortion ban by Republicans in the House and in the Senate. And nothing I’ve seen dissuades me of that,” Rep. Joe Morelle said in an interview with Politico.
