It was Florida Democrats’ worst nightmare materializing. With the party’s chances of winning elections looking bleaker, out-of-state donors began writing the state off, the Miami Herald reported last week.
Now, though, the U.S. Supreme Court may have handed the party something of a Hail Mary pass ahead of the November elections: the potential reversal of the federal constitutional right to an abortion, as a leaked court opinion draft suggests.
If Roe v. Wade is overturned, can Democrats turn public anger — and polling that shows a majority of Floridians support abortion rights — into votes? Or will they, in typical Democratic fashion, get in their own way?
