More Voters, Especially Women, Now Say Abortion Is Their Top Issue

The context here is that Trump has started flip-flopping his rhetoric after spending his time in office appointing anti-abortion judges who proceeded to create a situation where women are sent home to die when abortion is what's needed

Harris is making a move on Florida by starting a bus tour there next week. The issue she will emphasize is abortion which is on the ballot. She will begin her bus tour in West Palm Beach.
- I fucking love that they are doing bus tours and visiting small towns.
  It just screams old-school high impact visits and we can thank Warnock for that. It was his idea to do this lol.
  
  You can tell they did their homework and learned from state-wide key Senate races from Warnock to Baldwin in appealing to these battleground states. The sophistication of the Harris campaign makes Trump's look so damn amateur.
  
  Nah, Trumps amateur run campaign makes it look amateur.
  
  Children run lemonade stands with more competence and conviction than Trump's political campaign
- Texas and Florida are within 5 points in polling. They are almost flippable. Either one would handily give Kamala a win.
  I expect they see Florida as more up in the air or having stronger local issues that will drive turnout.
  
  Trump won Texas by only 6% against Biden. At 5% it means he's slipping here. If the apathetic Texas Democrats can bother to get off their asses, they'd see this state flip. At the very least we can kick Fled Cruz to the curb. Hell, he's polling with less of a lead than when he won in 2018, too. Texas is primed to flip and show the DNC that they can take it from the GOP.
