WASHINGTON — Across the country, most Democratic candidates have hung their electoral fortunes on the threat to abortion rights, elevating it as the issue in which to disqualify their Republican opponents in a majority of voters’ minds.
There’s been a notable exception shunning that playbook: Georgia’s Raphael Warnock.
In the more than a dozen TV ads the first-term Democratic senator has run over the past year, none has mentioned reproductive rights. His campaign doesn’t harp on the right to choose in its press releases or relentlessly highlight the impact of the Dobbs Supreme Court decision through its Twitter feed.
