Abortion Was A Winning Issue – Just Not for Kamala Harris with full transcript and summary​

Transcribed: view now.

Update: 2024-11-13
Duration: 00:19:54
Summary: In this episode of 'The Journal,' hosts Kate Linebaugh and Ryan Knutson, with contributions from Jessica Mendoza, explore the 2022 political landscape regarding abortion rights.

Despite the advocacy for abortion access and successful ballot measures in support of it, Vice President Kamala Harris failed to garner expected electoral support. Many voters prioritized issues like the economy over abortion, resulting in a disconnect between the popularity of abortion rights and the voting patterns for Democratic candidates, pointing to a complexity in how abortion as a key concern did not translate into votes.
