HARRISBURG, Pa. — It was the U.S. Supreme Court decision that Republicans had been seeking for 50 years. But its timing couldn't have been worse, some political analysts told the Post-Gazette following Friday's landmark ruling.
Before the high court overturned abortion as a constitutional right, Republicans were expecting a big sweep in November's midterm elections. Democrats, after all, continue to fail to address record-high inflation and gas prices.
But the ruling now gives Democrats an issue that they can use to turn out voters in their favor, the experts said.
