Joe Biden is the most unpopular president since World War II. Still, he could be re-elected. why? Democrats will continue to agitate on abortion policies, and the fight over abortion could mean a victory for Joe, especially in certain battleground states like Arizona. Republicans must solve this problem if they want to defeat Biden.
Nikki Haley might be able to help. Haley, the former South Carolina governor, lost to former President Donald Trump in the Republican primary, but her moderate stance on abortion won her considerable support among women and moderate Republicans. She correctly argues that Trump must appeal to these voters now. To win, he will need the support of not only a sizable percentage of independents, but also the entire party. Convincing Haley, who has been tasked with touring the country and telling voters the truth about Democrats’ extreme and vicious positions on the issue, to become an ambassador on abortion will help his cause. Dew.
Democrats want to allow abortions for up to nine months, although they deny that. Their position is disgusting and unpopular with most Americans. That’s the law they passed in New York. That’s what they want nationwide. Haley has credibility on this issue. She may help convince voters that Democrats, not Republicans, are abortion extremists.

Given the animosity and mudslinging between the two, Trump likely won’t ask Haley to be his running mate. But unless Haley, the former U.N. ambassador, has no intention of running on a third-party ticket (which she has said she doesn’t), perhaps Haley wants to be involved in Republican politics in the future. . Helping the Republican candidate win in November will go a long way toward rebuilding the party’s tattered standing within the party.
The partnership would be highly profitable for both Trump and Haley.
Donald Trump is seeing the light. He has expressed support for legalizing abortion up to 16 weeks of pregnancy, with exceptions such as rape, incest, and maternal health. This is the halfway point and is where most of the country falls.
But the liberal media isn’t having it. When news broke that President Trump had adopted this widely accepted position; Rolling Stone magazine headline “President Trump wants to ban abortion nationwide: Report,” he yelled. Others followed suit.
Nikki Haley has declared herself “proudly pro-life” throughout her campaign, but recognizes the deeply personal nature of the decisions some women make to end a pregnancy and is open-minded when it comes to abortion. succeeded in creating a position of

“I don’t criticize anyone for being pro-choice, and I don’t want anyone to criticize me for being pro-life,” Haley said during a Republican debate. She urged her rivals to “let’s find an agreement. … We no longer need to divide America on this issue.”
Haley and Trump recognize the reality. They know that pro-choice advocates are winning every vote on abortion in every state, including deep red Kansas, and that the issue is driving turnout and funding for Democrats. Currently, an increasing number of women are abandoning Joe Biden because they don’t like his economic and immigration policies, but in November, those voters are likely to choose pro-choice over pro-life. They are concerned that this will happen.
How extreme are the Democrats? In 2021, 49 Senate Democrats voted for HR 3755, the Women’s Health Protection Act of 2021. The bill aimed (as the New York Times reported) to “enshrine the landmark precedent of Roe v. Wade into federal law.” The Times didn’t include a link to the actual bill, probably because it’s scary.

The bill would allow abortion up to nine months of pregnancy if “in the good faith medical judgment of the treating health care provider, continuation of the pregnancy would endanger the life or health of the pregnant patient.” It was to be recognized.
“Physicians, certified nurse midwives, nurse practitioners, [or] A “physician assistant” may determine that a mother’s life is in danger even the day before her due date. In other words, a woman claiming stress may convince a nurse that she needs to abort her baby at eight months old. That position is abhorrent. , but it’s actually what Democrats adopted in New York several years ago.
Abortion is likely to be on the ballot in several battleground states, including Arizona. The state’s pro-life activists, who started the “No Sign” campaign, likely won’t be able to stop pro-abortion advocates from gathering the 400,000 signatures needed to get the abortion petition to the polls. If abortion were on the ballot, it would be very difficult for Donald Trump to win the state.
Nevada, another battleground state, may also include an abortion petition on the November ballot. Abortion votes may also be held in other states, such as Maryland, which likely won’t affect the presidential race, but popular Gov. Larry Hogan will win a Republican Senate seat. Possibilities may be avoided.

In Ohio, which Donald Trump won by 8 points in 2020, voters last year approved an amendment to the state constitution protecting abortion rights by a majority of 57%. In that vote, pro-abortion advocates outnumbered anti-abortion opponents nearly 3 to 1, raising tens of millions of dollars from out-of-state groups. With this victory, Democrats ensure the issue is on the ballot in as many states as possible this fall.
This effort should galvanize the Republican Party and the Trump campaign. They need to adopt positions and messages to voters on abortion that help calm the issue. Haley might be able to help.
