Before last year’s midterms, the Supreme Court’s decision to strike down the right to an abortion galvanized Democrats. History may be repeating itself.
Democrats are hoping the court’s moves to halt student-debt forgiveness, end affirmative action in college admissions and back a Christian website designer opposed to same-sex marriage will help President Joe Biden once again harness voter anger as he enters a tough reelection battle.
“The last two days of the Supreme Court have done more to help Democrats mobilize people of color and mobilize young people than any piece of policy or legislation that they say they’re going to be able to move through Congress,” said Cornell Belcher, a pollster and alum of Barack Obama’s presidential campaigns.
